BBMF AVRO LANCASTER PA474 MAY SORTIE AFTER CANCELLED FLYPAST FOR KINGS CORONATION • RAF CONINGSBY

The Avro Lancaster of the BBMF (Battle of Britain Memorial Flight) was planned to participate in the flypast for the King's Coronation on the 6th May 2023 but due to bad weather, the Lancaster was grounded. However, the next day, the weather was completely the opposite and the BBMF were due to fly. Here is what we got from the Lancaster with a little AB910 Spitfire too.

BBMF
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) was inaugurated on 11th July 1957 at RAF Biggin Hill. It was initially called the RAF Historic Aircraft Flight and consisted of three PR Mk XIX Spitfires and the RAF’s last airworthy Hurricane, LF363. It was then renamed to be the Battle of Britain Flight before a final renaming in 1969 as we know today, BBMF.

Between 1959 and 1965 the flight had one Spitfire (PM631) and one Hurricane (LF363) on its strength. Now, as a ‘museum without walls’, it maintains twelve historic and irreplaceable aircraft: an Avro Lancaster, a C-47 Dakota, six Spitfires, two Hurricanes and two de Havilland Chipmunk training aircraft.

PA474
The Avro Lancaster is the most famous and successful RAF heavy bomber of World War Two.Today, there are only two airworthy Lancasters left in the world of the 7,377 that were built.

Lancaster PA474 was built at the Vickers Armstrong Broughton factory at Hawarden Airfield, Chester on 31 May 1945, just after VE day. The war in the Far East ended before she was deployed and she did not take part in any hostilities.
