P7350 is the oldest airworthy Spitfire in the world. Built at Castle Bromwich and entering service in 1940 when she took part in the Battle of Britain.

Since 1999 P7350 has been painted to represent Spitfire Mk Ia ‘XT-D' (L1067) ‘Blue Peter' of No 603 Squadron, this being the personal aircraft of the Squadron Commander, Squadron Leader George Denholm DFC, who was affectionately known as ‘Uncle George' by his pilots as, at 32 years old, he was considerably older than all of them.

AB910 was built at Castle Bromwich and came off the production line in August 1941. A WAAF Groundcrew who had tailridden this aircraft, which was standard practice while taxi-ing to the end of the runway, was about to dismount when the pilot took off. The pilot did a circuit and then landed because of handling difficulties only to find the WAAF still clinging to the tail of the aircraft.

AB910 currently wears the desert camouflage scheme of Spitfire Vb AB502, which was the personal aircraft of Wing Commander Ian Richard Gleed DSO DFC when he became the Wing Leader of 244 Wing, Goubrine South, Tunisia in 1943.

MK356 was built at Castle Bromwich in 1944. This Spifire has claimed a 1/2 kill against an Me-109. She was aquired by the BBMF in November 1997 and this was the first time she had flown since 1944.

The aircraft is presented as a clipped wing LF Mk IX and carries the only markings it ever wore operationally as 2I-V of 443 Squadron RCAF, complete with black and white ‘D-Day stripes' on the underside of the wings and fuselage.

Built in November 1945 as a high altitude photo reconnaissance aircraft with a Griffon 66 engine and pressurised cockpit, PM631 was delivered to the RAF in 1946 so she was to late to see any operational service. This is the BBMF's longest serving aircraft.

PM631 is painted as an early PRXIX of 541 Squadron which performed high altitude reconnaissance missions over the European theatre from early 1944 to the end of the war. Appropriately the 541 Squadron motto was ‘Alone Above All'.

PS915 was just too late for the war, joining 541 Squadron at Benson in June 1945 before moving to the PR Development Unit to take part in tests of new cameras. In 1957, PS915 became a founder member of the Historic Aircraft Flight, the forerunner of the BBMF, but was quickly retired to gate-guardian duties. She re-joined the BBMF in 1987 after being modified to take an ex-Shackleton Griffon 58 engine and refurbished to flying condition by British Aerospace (Warton Division).

PS915 currently wears the colour scheme and markings of PS888, a PRXIX of 81 Squadron based at Seletar in Singapore during the Malaya Campaign.

PZ865 was the last of 14,533 Hurricanes to be built at Langley in 1944. She was used by Hawkers for a communication and test aircraft. PZ865 was entered in the Kings Cup Air Race by HRH Princess Margaret. Flown by Group Captain Peter Townsend it achieved second place. After a complete overhaul, PZ865 was flown to Coltishall in March 1972 and given to the Memorial Flight by Hawker Siddeley.

From 2005, BBMF Hurricane PZ865 will appear in the markings of Hurricane IIC BE581, as flown by the Czech fighter ace Flt Lt Karel Kuttelwascher during night intruders operations with the RAF’s legendary No 1(F) Squadron in 1942.

LF363 first flew in June of 1944 and is believed to be the last Hurricane to enter service. On September 11th 1991, during a flight from RAF Coningsby to Jersey, she suffered engine trouble and made a crash landing at RAF Wittering. The aircraft was seriously damaged by the crash and the ensuing fierce fire, fortunately the pilot escaped with a broken ankle and minor burns. Since then she has had a complete rebuild and flew again in the autumn of 1998.

LF363 appears for the 2006 display season in the colour scheme of Hurricane Mk1 P3878 ‘YB-W', the aircraft of Flying Officer Harold Bird-Wilson of No 17 Squadron during the Battle of Britain.

PA474 is one of only 2 airworthy Lancasters in the world, the other Lancaster being in Canada. She was built in Chester in 1945 and is one of 7377 that were built. She was originally earmarked for the 'Tiger Force' in the Far East but due to the end of the war was assigned to Photo-Recon duties with 82 Sqn in East and South Africa where she had her turrets removed and carried the identification letter 'M'. Returned to the UK and intended to be used as a pilotless drone but transferred to the Royal College of Aeronautics where she was used for trials on the Handley Page Laminar Flow wing instead. In 1964 was being prepared for future display at RAF Hendon. However she was restored at Waddington and had her turrets replaced and eventually joined the Battle of Britain Flight in November 1973.

Since 2000, PA474 has been painted in the markings originally worn by Lancaster III EE176 ‘QR-M' (‘Mickey the Moocher') of 61 Squadron, based at Skellingthorpe.

ZA947, a Douglas C-47 Dakota, was built in March 1942. She was aquired by the BBMF in March 1993 and as there are no other multi-engine tailwheel-configured aircraft in RAF service outside the BBMF, she is used for training aircrew for the BBMF multi-engine aircraft and in keeping the pilots of the Lancaster current on a multi-engine tailwheel aircraft during the winter months when the bomber is out of action. Increasingly, though, the Dakota has become a display aircraft in her right and now appears regularly on the airshow circuit either on her own or as part of a BBMF 3-ship formation, in company with a pair of fighters. She continues to be capable of para-dropping and is used in that role for special commemorative events.

Dakota ZA947 currently wears the livery of 267 ‘Pegasus’ Squadron, which flew in the Transport, Trooping and Re-supply roles in the Middle East and the Mediterranean Theatres during 1943/44. The squadron employed various colour schemes on its Dakotas but always displayed its ‘Pegasus’ emblem prominently on the aircraft’s nose.

The two De Havilland Chipmunks held on charge by the BBMF are the last in RAF service and are probably the least-seen aircraft of the BBMF's fleet. The 2 DHC-1 Chipmunks are used for training pilots on tail-wheel aircraft, pilot delivery to pick up fighters that have been serviced, delivery of small spare parts, and reconnaissance of new fly-past venues. WK518 has been with the BBMF since April 1983 and WG486 has been with the BBMF since 1995.

Both BBMF Chipmunks appear in a smart high-conspicuity black paint scheme with white bars.
