Specialist Competition - March 2011 - Ex RAF Types

Website · Post by **TonyO** » Tue Mar 15, 2011 10:54 am

I do, but the rules state ex-RAF types, it makes it all too easy just to plop a BBMF aircraft given the massive number of now ex-RAF aircraft out there.

The Spitfire was retired from RAF service in 1955 and the Lancaster in 1954.

So what are the aircraft currently in service with the BBMF?

It's just a bit of fun Tony not the Strategic defense review

Sure thing, just seems odd to include the Lanc and Spitfire...

Thought the BBMF just operated the aircraft and by a team of RAF volunters and are not as such in true RAF service
or words to that effect.

BBMF is a proper posting for the engineers and probably for the aircrew too.

Right, just to settle this, we're still prepared to let BBMF stuff in the competition, even though Tony's point about the wording of the rules being slightly unclear is correct. However, we've got so far and don't want to force people to delete their entries and re-submit, so we'll let this one continue as it is.

Cheers
Steve
