The RAF Museum at Hendon (London) has unveiled a new ‘Dambusters’ Virtual Reality Experience that will undoubtedly be of interest to many readers. The ‘Dams Raid’ was one of the greatest feats of arms ever and is one of the iconic stories from the Second World War. Its success captured the public imagination and has inspired a multitude of books, films and documentaries.

The RAF Memorial Flight Official Club's ballot prize for March is a fantastic, ‘money cannot buy it’, chance of a lifetime for Club members to win an Experience Day with the BBMF at RAF Coningsby.
The lucky winner will be able to bring up to three guests to RAF Coningsby on Saturday 29th June, one of the planned weekend flying days of the 2019 display season, which is also Armed Forces Day. Weather and aircraft availability permitting, the BBMF’s programme for that day includes the Lancaster, a Hurricane and a Spitfire starting up, taxying out and taking-off to cover various events, before landing away at Southampton. The Dakota, another Spitfire and a further Hurricane are also scheduled to depart individually, returning to Coningsby later in the afternoon. All in all, it is a busy and exciting day in prospect.
