- The TCS are at TED HQ for a Bank Holiday May Day special. I know what you are all thinking, what are the TCS doing here? Well, you have to remember that the BBMF operate individually to the Typhoon sorties and can fly on weekends and bank holidays too. They are a display team after all which means that if a flypast is going to go ahead, then no matter what Coningsby aerodrome is doing, the BBMF still need to display.
For the Supermarince Spitfire: • LIVE MAY DAY BANK HOLI...
What is the BBMF?
The Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) operates from RAF Coningsby. The mission of the RAF BBMF is to maintain the priceless artefacts of our national heritage in airworthy condition in order to commemorate those who have fallen in the service of this country. The RAF BBMF also serves to promote the modern day Air Force and to inspire the future generations.
The Flight operates six Spitfires, two Hurricanes, a Lancaster, a C47 Dakota, and two Chipmunk aircraft (primarily for training). The aircraft are flown by regular RAF Aircrew. These aircraft can be regularly seen in the skies over the UK from May to September each year. They are flown to celebrate and commemorate public and military events from State occasions such as Trooping the Colour to major airshows and flypasts for public events. His Royal Highness Prince William, Prince of Wales, is the Patron for the BBMF.
HISTORY
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) was inaugurated on 11 July 1957 at RAF Biggin Hill. It was initially called the RAF Historic Aircraft Flight and consisted of three PR Mk XIX Spitfires and the RAF’s last airworthy Hurricane, LF363. It was then renamed to be the Battle of Britain Flight before a !nal renaming in 1969 to what it is known as today, BBMF. Between 1959 and 1965 the flight had one Spit!re (PM631) and one Hurricane (LF363) on its strength.
Now, as a ‘museum without walls’, it maintains twelve historic and irreplaceable aircraft: an Avro Lancaster, a C-47 Dakota, six Spitfires, two Hurricanes and two de Havilland Chipmunk training aircraft.
The BBMF is a regular RAF unit, manned by service personnel and funded by the Ministry of Defence.
MOTTO
“Lest We Forget”
The Lest We Forget motto of the RAF BBMF re"ects our mission and honours the thousands of men and women, in the air and on the ground, that gave their lives for this country in the noble pursuit of freedom.

Love the Lancaster dearly, but I always feel sad when I see and hear one in flight, remembering all those thousands of brave young men who never returned from their sorties.
One can’t help but to remember them nice words Neil
That's the feeling I had when I came away from East Kirkby and the enormous losses. And similar from countless other airfields in Lincolnshire

Quality stream of the Lancaster site to behold in all its glory have a safe journey back to base 👌
Oiii Oiii Nigel What a surprise this was. Thanks man
My father in law was CO of 617 Sqn during the war at nearby Woodhall Spa and posted to Coningsby as Station Commander in 1953. He always spoke very highly of the Lancaster.
That’s amazing. We thank him for serving our country
What a great part 2 thanks for this
The Lancaster is my icon I've been on the coningsby one I've been a fan of the lanc sice the late 1940s saw the French and Canadian ones flying over a lot also the RAF coastal oneself remember they were retired on 15-10- 1956
Yes TCS one of the brilliant oldies!! But a real goodie! Real royalty, real beauty. Lancaster with that Merlin Overture. Speechless you sounded Ted and Nikos.. What a stroke of luck. Watching chat too Arjen Av in green days! Lol 😆 some other names I recognise too.
Hooray!! For your PTii. Im sure you'll remember this. Was it one of your 1st Lancaster streams? That's so awesome.. lovely to watch tonight with no stream today (23/11/23) no RAF Leeming flying.. But this is worth it, to see practice and letting her stretch her legs, The wonderful Lancaster. Where she should be - Flying and making people smile and croon in admiration. Well done! TCS
BBMF Legends..
No:- 722
Oiii oiiii Daniel thanks for catching up on this one. Oohh yeah
Ty Ted for sharing this beautiful bird in flight and doin circuits, absolute cracker
Oii oii Colin Well, after wrapping it up originally for AB910 and packing everything away, our radio went off "START APPROVED...POB 5". Well, with 5 persons on board (POB) this couldn't be a Spitfire or a Lancaster...then, we heard Merlin engines...my oh my...
My brother was a Senior Aircraft Technician at RAF Coningsby in 1999.Battle of Britain Squadron. When I was visiting with my Daughter he got permission to take us on board The Lancaster, City of Lincoln.
Wow awesome. The TCS would like to say thank you to your brother for serving our country
Unexpected delight Ted 👍🦊
oooohhhh yeah totally. What a treat
Brilliant 👌
Big aircraft fully loaded making maybe 250 knots at best! Going over the target.. Was really a suicide mission but yet they did it... And did it beyond well.. Massive, Massive respect!!!
We reflected after the stream today and just imagined and went into deep thought... many (and we mean many...never came home). We've often thought that on a mission, they would have known that some would not come home. Bomber Command had the highest loses...Lest we forget brother
@@TedConingsby agreed Brother! That's insane and yet they went without Fear or Favour.. An unbelievable situation! All the respect we can muster is due and then some!
None of us today can even imagine the sound of hundreds of these magnificent aircraft going off each night fully loaded. The sound must have been incredible.
People forget in all the Yank media hype that the Lancaster was the most capable air bomber of WWII. And yes I include the B-29. The Lancaster was the fall back aircraft for the A Bomb attacks because the B-29 was in such trouble and still had to use the Lancaster bomb bay stowage and release kit to deliver the two A Bombs.
48 of Rolls Royce's finest piston, all singing in harmony. Nothing else like it. 👍👍
Ooohhh yeah. Well said Shane 🤙🏼
Nothing sounds like those Merlin V12 engines on that Lancaster. I’ve seen it countless times but it still gets me. Beautiful aircraft.
Oii Oii Philip I know right and this was a surprise treat for our bank holiday special. Those engines are so impressive...this literally was and is, the original sound of freedom...wow
Wow! What a sound! It's amazing how quickly she gets her tail up and airborne! Tiffy performance there in terms of the takeoff role. Guess she is light though
Yes bro! how you doing? We couldn't believe it Lee...all packed up and then the radio went off with this beauty. What sound, what a sight...Lincolnshire is not complete without the Lancaster in the skies...wow oooohhhh yeah
wow I thought you were all wrapped up, how good was that!
Oiii Oiii Stephen...one thing we have learned, when packing away, never ever turn off comms...just in case...and although completely packed away, we had to rig everything back up again. ooohhh yeah
This is what often happens.
Just as you're leaving.
Worsed of all.
When you've left.
Good job.
👍
Q. 'What's that bleeping"??
A. Who the hell cares!! 🤷♂️
Gazza, what a treat this was. TCS always think outside the box and the old saying of mon-friday flying becomes irrelevant this time of year. Plane spotting is a pot luck and look at this!
LOL, every time...unpack, leave, stuff happens lol... however, I have learned to leave my radio on when packing away...oooohhh yeah!
Transformed into elegance when the gear is retracted , eh ?
Absolutely!
This was unbelievable
My dad was stationed at coningsby during the war. He was a rear gunner on the Lancaster bomber 101 squadron
Respect Sir!
Brave man, hope he got a medal, did your dad survive the war?.
oiii oii Michael, thank you for sharing this with us. Respect
what does subscribers-only mode was enabled???
Live chat is for subscribers only
What a wonderful sound. Makes me want to go and watch Battle of Britain😊 Love the way they take off with a very low angle glide slope, presume due to lack of power compared to modern aircraft or save fuel. Spitfires did same. Beautiful 👍th-cam.com/video/dmsXyJgzk-8/w-d-xo.html
Oiii oiii Howard thank you so much
I wonder if this is Lancaster bomber, "the city of Lincoln "which is still owned by the RAF,its nice to see the bomber with the roar of the Merlin engines. Fantastic.
This is the Lancaster Bomber, P474 and it is owned by the RAF BBMF, it is one of two air worthy Lancasters (one is in Canada). I believe this IS the one you are relating to? The Merlin engines are fantastic.
Have You been to East Kirby Meusum in Lincolnshire ,where they are doing a 10yr restoration of Lancaster Bomber NX611 JUST JANE..🇬🇧 lovely watching and listening to those Merlin engines when the lads have got Her outside to test engines and on open days do a Taxi Run. I can't wait for the day when she can take off.🤗😁
Oiii oiii Lorna 🤙🏼 thanks for your comment. There is a video of me having a memorable taxi ride in “NX611 -JUST JANE”. Was awesome
