This month one lucky member of the RAF Memorial Flight Official Club will win a ‘money cannot buy it’ opportunity to sit in the cockpit of a BBMF Spitfire and experience what it is like.

Eighty years ago this month, on the night of 30th/31st March 1944, RAF Bomber Command suffered its heaviest losses of the entire war on a single raid against the symbolic Nazi rally city of Nuremberg.
During 2024 we are presenting the image from the Club calendar for that month in the newsletter, with some details about the picture, including when and where the photo was taken.
This month we feature the stunning photo for March, which was entered into the calendar competition by Club member Rod Holme.
