Some photos from the @RAFBBMF Lancaster on the evening of the VJ75 Flypast that was shown on @BBCOne. Passing @WestHam’s ground, the @TheShardLondon, @TheLondonEye and @wembleystadium during the run in and exit. An honour to take part in VJ75 this way over our beautiful capital!
This. I have no idea who, why, what or how- but it’s made my 2020 😂👏🏻. Thanks to whoever sent us this picture. 🤷🏻♂️ #redarrows #dolly #minime #littlered

18th August known as the “Hardest Day” during the Battle of Britain. 850 German sorties with 2200 aircrew vs 970 RAF sorties with 600 aircrew. Sandy Lane’s face says it all. #bob80 #lestweforget @Disco_BBMF @BBMF_Sugden @Seb_Lanc99 @BBMF_Ernie93 @ColBostrom @Farrell3Neil
Photo of ours @RAFBBMF and the Canadian Lancaster digitally edited to show them flying over Chesil Beach Dorset.

#DidYouKnow that on 16 August 1940, PM Winston Churchill said: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few"? His famous words were spoken after he visited the #BattleofBritain bunker at RAF Uxbridge. Read more: fal.cn/1940_TheFew 👈 #BoB80
About the only half hour where the weather played ball yesterday 😭😬😂. Spaghetti Break on arrival at Prestwick Airport during #VJDay75 commemorations 📷= Cpl Adam Fletcher. Then, the more representative picture of the day!
In 2018, the film Hurricane, was released in the UK, telling the tale of the bravery of 302 and 303 Squadrons. Back then, the movie inspired us to take a look at how the gallantry of these young men proved invaluable during the Second World War. ➡️ fal.cn/302_303
The Lancaster @RAFBBMF returning home after the #VJDay75 #LestWeForget flypast
On VJ Day in 1945, XI(F) Squadron's war ended in India. Today we remember the sacrifice of personnel in the Far East who fought for so long, so far away. We salute their courage and the part they played in bringing World War Two finally to an end. #NeverForgotten #VJDay75
Historic aircraft from @RAFConingsby Battle of Britain Memorial Flight have performed a flypast over the @Nat_Mem_Arb as part of #VJDay75 commemorations. #VJDay75 #NeverForgotten
📣 VJ DAY FACT OF THE DAY Less than 15% of the 14th Army hailed from Britain. Victory in the Far East was a combined effort, brought about by men and women from the UK, the Commonwealth and beyond. See our map below for more details 👇 #VJDay75 #NeverForgotten
13 Aug 1940 was 'Adlertag' ('Eagle Day'), the first day of a Nazi operation aimed at destroying the RAF. Around 500 aircraft attacked airfields and radar stations, inflicting significant casualties and damage, but not enough to achieve what they wanted. #BattleofBritain
Thankfully the weather held for the @RAFBBMF #VJDay flypast @Nat_Mem_Arb. With @Disco_BBMF @Seb_Lanc99 @Farrell3Neil @BBMF_Sugden. Great video taken by Mazza a BBMF engineer on his last trip.
