Whilst the BBMF may be part of the RAF, the intention of this months topic was for images of those aircraft no longer in regular RAF service, of which the BBMF should not be considered.

The RAF withdrew the Spitfire from regular service in 1954 and the Hurricane in 1947 and only operated in a memorial flight capacity. Therefore, for the purposes of this months SPOTM, images of BBMF aircraft are permitted.

Hope this clarifies the position and the intent of the category
