In giving the award HCAP said:\u00a0\u201cNow in its 66th year, the BBMF has displayed its aircraft to very many millions of people. In addition, around 25,000 people each year visit the BBMF at its home at RAF Coningsby via the BBMF Visitor Centre and hear the stories associated with the aircraft. The BBMF\u2019s personnel and its wonderful historic aircraft provide a dynamic synthesis of old and new, people and machines, which is a source of great envy for many air forces that do not have an equivalent, and one of great pride for the modern RAF. For an outstanding and enduring contribution to aviation, the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight is duly recognised by the Award of Honour.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Battle of Britain Flight is an active squadron within the Royal Air Force tasked with maintaining and flying an Avro Lancaster, Spitfires and Hurricanes, Chipmunks and a DC3 Dakota.<\/p>\n

Its mission is to\u00a0\u201cmaintain the priceless artefacts of our national heritage in airworthy condition in order to commemorate those who have fallen in the service of this country. The RAF BBMF also serves to promote the modern day Air Force and to inspire the future generations.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
