| Lest We Forget by Robert Tomlin.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will always remain a firm favourite with the airshow-going public. With an unmistakable purr of six Merlin engines, the flight makes one of the most evocative sights on the circuit. Aircraft of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight fly over the Battle of Britain Fighter Pilots Memorial at Capel le Ferne, near Folkestone, England. The memorial shows a pilot pensively looking out towards the coast of France from where the enemy have at last ceased to come. Around the base are tributes to all the squadrons of the many Allied Nations who stood together against the odds in 1940. As a living tribute the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight operate several Spitfires, two Hurricanes and a sole Lancaster from their base at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire. Here the aircraft are Lancaster B1, PA474 painted to represent No 9 Sqn, Spitfire Ab910 painted as No 222 (Natal Sqn and Hurricane LF363 representing 56 Sqn. Tony Iveson was a 617 Squadron Pilot 1944/45. Paul Day has been flying these precious aircraft for almost 20 years.
