FlyPast  |  April 2015
The new issue of FlyPast features a FREE Airshow guide for the coming season, and profiles the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight as it prepares for another busy season. Britain’s biggest selling aviation monthly features the BBMF’s Spitfire II and Hurricane II as its cover stars, and we speak to the Flight’s leader Sqn Ldr Dunc Mason about plans for the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain this summer.
