RAF BBMF

2026 Display Schedule

The RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight returns for the 2026 display season with appearances across England, Scotland, Wales, Guernsey, and Jersey. The Flight operates five Supermarine Spitfires, two Hawker Hurricanes, Avro Lancaster PA474, C-47 Dakota ZA947, and two de Havilland Chipmunk training aircraft. Lancaster PA474 is away at Duxford for a planned major maintenance programme with the Aircraft Restoration Company, so the Dakota is expected to take the Lancaster’s place at many BBMF appearances during the 2026 season.
