I imagine it will be the August date, so it falls during Lowestoft airs show. Seeing as some of the Lowestoft display aircraft us Marham as base :)

15th September could be a flypast linked to RAFA. Some of the others you mention might also be flypasts

Surprised the red's are not listed for Coningsby and Marham Families day at the moment

Woo-Hoo - excellent news, many thanks for the info Zulu63.

Having thought there would not be a Lyneham day this year, this is great.

Had a great view from the 36 end last year.

I have now been able to make some updates for families days with the BBMF participating. Also i have hopefuly found the dates for this years Leeming and Linton families days.

Also after people were saying last year was the last for Lyneham families day, with the BBMF participating at Lyneham on the 7th August and news from fellow members i can say there looks to be another display this year.

Thanks, Cottesmore09

The reason for the 30th May could be the tutor might be operating from Wattisham for the Southend air show.... And the BBMF is a flypast of Hurricane and Spitfire.
