The new series two of the TV documentary “Top Guns – Inside the RAF” is now being broadcast on TV, with episode one having gone out on 4th February. The first series focussed on RAF Lossiemouth and its people, and this series showcases the operations conducted by the aircraft and personnel of RAF Coningsby and Waddington.

RAF Coningsby is home to BBMF Lancaster PA474, one of only two of the famous four-engine bombers in the world that are currently airworthy. Eighty years ago, in February 1945, many more Lancasters were dispersed around Coningsby’s perimeter when the airfield was the base for the 5 Group Pathfinders of 83 and 97 Squadrons.
