represents the dogged and courageous work of the RAF’s military transport aircraft and their crews. Finally,two De Havilland Chipmunk T10 training aircraft make up the Flight’s full complement.

Preserving, commemorating
and inspiring At the heart of the Flight’s ethos is the long-term preservation of its authentic, historic aircraft in airworthy condition as aliving memorial to those who have gone before. The long-term preservation of these priceless artefacts of our national heritage is planned and funded many years ahead, with the ultimate aim of keeping the aircraft flying forever.
The BBMF’s commemorative role is perhaps its most important and one you might like to join. The BBMF reminds us of the debt we owe to all those who have paid the ultimate price in the service of their country,fighting to preserve the freedom of others.
The BBMF has always symbolised excellence, dedication and service and, with its dynamic synthesis of old and modern, then and now,the Flight represents acontinuance of the core values of the Royal Air Force: professional excellence, teamwork and dedication.
There are few sights or sounds able to provoke more powerful emotions than the BBMF aircraft. In their natural element, in the air,they tug at the heart strings and make agreater statement than any history book or written account,
and they provide aliving tribute greater than any static memorial.
