Looking for a Christmas gift for friends or family? How about a membership pack for the RAF Memorial Flight Official Club? The pack makes a great gift, it provides the first year’s membership for the Club and you’ll be directly supporting the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) by purchasing one.

You can buy a membership pack through Amazon or in the BBMF Visitor Centre’s shop. Alternatively, please contact us and we can help you make a purchase by card or cheque. The membership packs are sold by TRMG, the publishing company who produce them for the BBMF.

We have a very exciting ballot prize on offer to members of the RAF Memorial Flight Club this month. One lucky member will win a VIP visit to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight on a date of their choice and will be able to bring along up to 3 guests!

You’ll find the programme of events for the VIP visit listed below. Highlights include being allowed to enter the Dakota (subject to serviceability), meeting OC BBMF Andy ‘Milli’ Millikin and a buffet lunch in the Lancaster Lounge.

Seventy-five years ago, on Christmas Eve 1941, No 44 (Rhodesia) Squadron, which had been operating Handley Page Hampden twin-engine bombers since February 1939, received the best Christmas present its crews could ask for, when the first three production Avro Lancaster B1s were delivered to them at Waddington.
