Whilst there is no public access to RAF Wittering, residents in neighbouring villages should be afforded clear views of the aircraft as they perform the flypast.

Operating five Spitfires, two Hurricanes, a Lancaster and a C47 Dakota, the Flight aircraft can be regularly seen in the skies over the UK from May to September each year.

In addition to the full displays, the BBMF also conducts up to 900 flypasts each year to make the most of the flying hours and transits to and from display locations.
