We are delighted to the return of Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress Sally B to our show on 18th May for both Flying & Static displays

Alternatively - RN spends about £500k per year employing tiny number of people to address massive issues that have repeatedly been cited as having negative effect. Looking after your people and trying to make the force work isn't 'woke' - its basic common sense.

We've decided to switch to a weekly fundraising update now we've passed our target, probably on a Tuesday.

You can still donate via justgiving.com/crowdfunding/d… or paypal.com/gb/fundraiser/… or by cheque to help us build a restoration fund

A LIFE CUT SHORT 6TH APRIL 1944

AA810’s last pilot Sandy Gunn. Murdered 80 years ago today for his part in the #greatescape alongside William Grisman, Tony Hayter, Clement McGarr, Harold Milford, Denys Street, and John Williams.

He was 24 years old.

Recently, Navy Wings took a delivery of various spares for our Wasp, which included three non-flying airframes.

The Aircraft Restoration Company, alongside some of our engineering team recently started the process of installing the new Tailplanes to the Lancaster – an exciting milestone in her maintenance programme this winter! ✈️

#Lancaster #maintenance #workingtogether #aviationindustry

PHF pilots Clive Denney & Dave Harvey will be at our ‘Polish Air Force Day’ on 11th May at Battle of Britain Bunker with WHW Cambridge IC (also on Bluesky)

On hand to talk all things Hurricane, Spitfire, from Fast Jets to First World War Bombers!

The Aeronautica Militare painted up one of remaining AMXs in this smart colour scheme as part of the send-off for the light attack aircraft at #Istrana today, and managed to put five up for a final formation flight.

Even not being a multi-billion-dollar company is no excuse. It has no place in the creative industries.

#Italy will retire the epic Leonardo Aircraft/@Embraer AMX tomorrow in a ceremony at Istrana AB after 35 years of operation. It is one of the last light combat aircraft in service anywhere in Europe. Its retirement means the Aeronautica Militare will be reliant on three fighter types.

We hit our target last night, and still the total rises! Now we need to get the Beverley to Cumbria, restore it and put it on display. The graft starts now 💪
