The BBMF Lancaster PA474 took to the skies again for the first time this year, on Thursday 6th June, for its post-winter-maintenance air test.

The big bomber’s return to the skies had been somewhat delayed by a number of engineering issues, reported in detail to Official Club members in previous newsletters. However, all of those issues have been resolved and the BBMF is delighted to have its pride and joy back where it belongs, in the air.

This month, three lucky members will win a pair of tickets (worth £79.90) to the Battle Proms! The Battle Proms Picnic Concerts are taking place at various venues across the UK in July and August. Our winners will be able to choose the date and venue they would like to attend.
