Battle Honours

Icons all

 

With the Flight's Dakota preceding them, Element Four of the RAF100 London Flypast consisted of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's iconic and historic WWII aircraft, down from their home at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire

 

Led by their Avro Lancaster bomber - one of only two airworthy examples left in the world - she's flanked by three Supermarine Spitfires and outboard, two Hawker Hurricanes, the latter two types synonymous with the famous event that the Flight is names after - The Battle of Britain

 

Stirring stuff!
