Closed 147 signatures

What the petition asks

Please ask the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) to conduct flypasts across the UK. This would not only boost morale, but would also be a fitting commemoration of VE, VJ days & 80th anniversary of BoB. The BBMF would normally have flown airshows so no extra cost to tax payer.

In these difficult times, symbols help us get through them just as they did for the greatest generation in WW2. Sir Col Tom is an inspiration now as ever. Flypasts by Spitfires & Hurricanes, even a single one, would boost our morale. The BBMF would normally have flown at Many airshows and delighted 100s of 1000s. Engender the bulldog spirit, it boosted morale in 1940, why not now? It would also commemorate VE, VJ and the 80th Anniversary of Battle of Britain
