Battle of Britain Memorial Flight

The second half of our trip was spent learning about many of the aeroplanes that flew in WW2. Mr Rowley told us that members of the public have to stay behind the barriers, around the edge of the huge hangar, but he had arranged it that we would be allowed to walk right next to the planes! What a treat!

Mr. Rowley told us about some of the men who flew the aeroplanes. This man had a very lucky escape! He had to jump out of the Lancaster Bomber when it was 3 miles up in the air. Fortunately for him, he landed in a German forest where the trees slowed down his fall, then he landed in a huge snow drift!

What a fabulous experience!
