Uncertain Future For RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flights Following Spitfire Crash

The United Kingdoms Royal Air Force (RAF) is nearing a decision point about the future of her World War II flying warbird collection in the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF). Although many hope the Royal Air Force will return to airshows and flypasts the Hurricanes, Spitfires, Chipmunk trainer, Dakota transport, and Lancaster bomber, the fatal crash on May 25 of the Supermarine Spitfire LF.IXe, on hand, has led to British questions about the viability of flying World War II warbirds.
