A Tribute to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the brave WW2 pilots.

I was walking across the car park at Boston lodge recently when the Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight flew directly over our Guest House.

As I walked down the lane I starting thinking of the heroic actions that must have taken place over this area of Lincolnshire and the Fens during World War 2.

I started wondering what would have happened if we had lost the Battle of Britain.

When i returned I started researching about the brave pilots on the Internet and found this Battle Of Britain Memorial Fligh tribute Video below… “Lest we forget”.

I got goosebumps watching and listening to it. I enjoyed it so much I thought I would share it with you.

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight is based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire and only a short drive from Boston Lodge.

Our Guest house is ideally situated for visiting the RAF Airfields in Lincolnshire.

Conningsby is also one of the airbases housing the Typhoon fighter jet. They can be seen on a regular basis over the Lincolnshire skies.
