As part of the celebrations to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee a number of Battle of Britain Memorial Flights will take to the skies.
And while the Queen and the rest of the royal family watched the Red Arrows from the Buckingham Palace balcony on Thursday - a whole host of other flypasts are planned, and there will be plenty of chances to spot one this weekend.

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flights (or BBMF for short) usually feature either a Lancaster Bomber, a Spitfire, a Hurricane or a Dakota.
Often the Spitfires fly in pairs, but they also occasionally fly alone.
But where can you see them this weekend? Here's what you need to know.


June 3
A range of flypasts took place on Friday throughout the day. Among them was a Hawker Hurricane which flew over Yorkshire’s skies at the Tractorfest at Newby Hall in North Yorkshire. The plane was set to fly over the festival between 3.15pm and 4.05pm.

Meanwhile, if you didn’t manage to catch any of the day’s earlier flypasts a Hurricane will fly over Sandringham Estate, Norfolk between 7.15 and 8.00pm

The Hawker Hurricane will return to South Yorkshire on Saturday, flying over Dalton and Falnderwell near Rotherham between 12.55pm and 1.40pm. There are also a large number of as yet unassigned flypasts due in nearby Lincolnshire, so it's worth keeping your eyes peeled for much of Saturday afternoon.
The Lancaster is set to be in Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire and Hampshire, while the Spitfire will be in Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Essex.
