The BBMF’s PR Team is made up of a group of serving RAF personnel, all of them enthusiastic volunteers with other primary roles in the RAF, who travel to air shows and events to be the ‘face’ of the BBMF on the ground for the public. Their commitment and the call on their time is extraordinary, but without their efforts the BBMF would not be able to provide a physical presence on the ground at events.

If you are planning to attend one of the air shows or events listed below at which the BBMF will be represented by some of its PR Team, please be sure to go and seek them out by their BBMF logoed gazebo or tent. You can chat with them about the BBMF and pick up some free souvenirs.
