Hey all,
After the BBMF display at the airshow, quite a few of you wanted to start up a VBBMF (Virtual Battle of Britain Memorial Flight).

I said I'd put up a post about it - here it is

If you want to be part, say so, any suggestions etc on how to get this rolling?

(NOTE: this is unofficial, and if it's already been done, I suppose you might call this the SimV VBBMF )

i'd love to take part in this, pity we can't add the vulcan sometimes just to spice things up  ;)

Why don't we Nemo? Those lads seemed to love your addition, and whoever winds up running the VBBMF probably wouldn't mind

So it's new, total name is....

SimVVBBMF+Vulcan

would love to take part.

instead of making it a VBBMF, why not an RAF historical flight?? then you can use all of the RAF oldest and greatest, but have a small detachment that are the BBMF. then everyone is happy

then i'm definately up for it...... will fly any of the aircraft, just need to find a better vulcan thats not payware lol.

Great idea
ill fly the Hurricane Mk IIa LE-D as i flew in the show.

We need more fighter jocks to get maybe a big fighter show going with brakes infront of the crowd and stuff

current list of active planes from BBMF site
Spitfire Mk IIa
Spitfire LF IXe
Spitfire Mk V B
Spitfire PRXIX x2
Hurricane Mk IIc x2
C-47
2 Chippies
...and a Lancaster  ;D

just what i was thinking...

That would be even better,than we can add planes like the Hunter, Gnat,Typhoon and stuff
maybe add a jet division??

I'd stick to historic types... nothing more modern than a Vulcan or Lightning...

the vulcan was thrown in basically at the last minute, due to my pm'ing little charlie over a flight my dad had when he was in the raf, since the pm it was kept as a surprise until tonight  ;).

i can see this branching out into a few different eras though.

Too bad i cant follow development of this in the next 2 weeks becouse im at holliday in france as of tomorrow

Make something great gentleman, ill check again in 14 days

I'd be happy to try my hand with the lumbering Dak!

I'm still sticking with the Spit guys For now, I'll use Paul Rebuffat's Mk IXc (probably here at SimV) but if anyone can find a decent Mk II/MK V spit I'll be a happy Charlie

kl kl, well, we would need to figure out which displays to do, how many pilots needed etc etc...

good historic flight, a hunter with 2 gnats either side. saw that a leuchars last year. sexy display.

i like the idea of a dog fight kinda thing. would be a nice touch.

next thing i suppose is, what woudl be in a RAF histrical flight?

How about a Canberra with that? I wouldn't mind flying a PR9
