Well worth a visit, & if you do decide to go see - check the BBMF website first & choose at time that looks slack for flying - or better still make a morning visit when it looks like they will be flying in the afternoon!! ;)

Do you have to pre-arrange, or can you just turn up?

No they are open Monday - Friday - unfortunately because the shop etc is council run they are not open at weekends, but during the week you can get guided tours. As I say look on the BBMF website for times when the aircraft will be [should be] in the hanger .....

I have just read an interesting article on the BBMF in the Flypast & the Tour guides. :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

Has DT ever thought about doing that? He knows the Lanc inside out and what a tour it would be :D :D I am sure he would have a full attendance ;) ;)

I not saying he ready to retire like [-x [-x

Haha I think it's something he would do once he retires but at the moment of course he is tied up with the Waddington air show for 6 months of the year.
