Both of the of Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Chipmunks at RAF Coningsby
Both of the of Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Chipmunks at RAF Coningsby.
The two de Havilland Canada Chipmunks held on charge by the RAF Memorial Flight are the last in RAF service and are probably the least-seen aircraft of the Memorial Flight fleet. They are used year-round, primarily for the conversion and continuation training of the Flights pilots on tail-wheel aircraft. Other functions of the Chippies include the reconnaissance of new venues, the delivery or collection of pilots and, occasionally, the delivery of small spare parts.
The Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (RAF-BBMF) is administratively part of the Royal Air Force No 1 Group and operates from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire. They have Spitfires, Hurricanes, a Lancaster and Dakota as well as Chipmunks in the flight.
The aircraft are regularly seen at events commemorating World War II, upon British State occasions, notably the Trooping the Colour celebrating Queen Elizabeth IIs birthday and at air displays throughout the United Kingdom and Europe

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the two iconic Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Chipmunks at RAF Coningsby, showcasing their significance as the last remaining aircraft in active service with the Royal Air Force. Although often overlooked among the more renowned planes in the Memorial Flight fleet, these de Havilland Canada Chipmunks play a vital role year-round. Primarily used for training purposes, they provide conversion and continuation training to pilots on tail-wheel aircraft. Beyond training duties, these Chippies also serve various functions such as reconnaissance missions for new venues and transporting pilots or small spare parts when needed. Their versatility and reliability make them an integral part of RAF operations. Operating from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, the Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight is an esteemed unit within No 1 Group of the Royal Air Force. In addition to these Chipmunks, their fleet includes legendary aircraft like Spitfires, Hurricanes, a Lancaster bomber, and a Dakota transport plane. These historic planes are frequently seen at events commemorating World War II and British State occasions such as Trooping the Colour – a grand celebration marking Queen Elizabeth II's birthday. Moreover, they captivate audiences at air displays across not only the United Kingdom but also Europe. This print serves as a reminder of both our military heritage and ongoing dedication to preserving it through remarkable aerial displays that honor those who served during World War II.
