Featuring flypasts by a BBMF Spitfire, a 78 Squadron Merlin helicopter trailing the RAF ensign (which will hopefully land at Breighton - the return of 78 Squadron to its wartime base, albeit temporarily, for the first time since the Second World War), and a SAR Sea King (another type once operated by 78 Squadron).

A word about access to Breighton Airfield for members of the general public

Whilst we warmly welcome members of the general public to Breighton admission can only be made by subscribing to Museum Club Membership (I prefer to think of it as a season ticket). Annual membership is just £25 per year, that's around £5 per fly-in, and don't forget you can bring family and friends along too (on the proviso that the Club member accepts responsibility for their guests) and visit any weekend, not just Fly-in weekends. Museum membership represents excellent value for money and is very popular with aviation enthusiasts and budding aviation photographers who enjoy an unrivalled level of access to aircraft, pilots and the flying activities.

Pilots of visiting aircraft and their crews/pax DO NOT NEED TO BE CLUB MEMBERS and there are NO LANDING FEES ON FLY-IN DAYS.
