Battle of Britain Memorial Flight confirmed for Swansea Airshow 2023 including Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster

An RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) will take to the skies over Swansea at this year's Wales Airshow, which is taking place on July 1 and 2. World-famous fighters the Spitfire and Hurricane will join a Lancaster bomber in commemorating those who have fallen in service.

The priceless artefacts from Britain's history will take to the skies in the third display confirmed for the free, two-day spectacular organised by Swansea Council. It was recently announced that the Red Arrows and the RAF Typhoon Display Team would also make an appearance on both days of the airshow.

The RAF Eurofighter Typhoon was missed by the public at last year's airshow when it did not make an appearance and Swansea Council said it pulled out all the stops to bring it back for 2023. Across the weekend there will also be many other stars of the skies and a wide range of family fun on the ground, including displays, virtual reality experiences and live music.
