Fantastic news this morning from the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. We’ve been provisionally allocated a Spitfire AND a Hurricane, to display together at 14:25 in the afternoon.
To have not one but two BBMF fighters over Prescott is a tremendous first for PWP and underlines the massive level of support we receive every year from the Flight.
The allocation is provisional at this stage and will be confirmed in May, but the already announced presence of the Flight at nearby RIAT for that weekend gives us confidence that this provisional allocation will be confirmed, barring any operational issue.
Because the hill must be closed during aerial activity, we will be requesting the BOC hold their lunch break slightly later this year, from 1:30 to 2:30 and the MG100 cavalcade will re-open the hill for the afternoon climbs as soon as the fighters have departed.
