The BBMF Fly-past

Come and watch the BBMF Fly-Past

We are very proud to have secured a Battle of Britain Memorial flypast of the incredible Lancaster Bomber aircraft, in celebration of VE and Armed Forces Day. The Lancaster Bomber is one of only two remaining in airworthy condition, out of the 7,377 that were built! PA474 was built at the Vickers-Armstrong Broughton factory at Hawarden and completed on 31st May 1945.

Flypast time is 13:42pm and will perform 3 passes over the park at 500ft and will be approaching us from a Westerly direction.

The full media pack can be downloaded from the button below if you’d like to learn more.

If you are an avid photographer, interested in aircraft or wartime memorabilia or just want to help us celebrate the amazing forces personel, past and present, then come along for a day out. You can enjoy our wonderful natural surroundings and animals, have a bite to eat in our Rainforest Diner and then watch this incredible aircraft as it flies over our park. There is no extra charge for the day, enjoying the flypast is included in your ticket price to support our charity.

Please note: we welcome anyone to enjoy the park but ask that you do not use our car park to park up and watch the flypast if you are not entering the wildlife park itself. Those using the carpark without visiting the wildlife park will be politely asked to leave.
