Aviation and Binoculars Partners with the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Club
We are incredibly proud to share some exciting news that marks a significant milestone for our business and our community of aviation enthusiasts. Aviation and Binoculars has been formally invited to partner with the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Club (BBMF)—an honour that not only reflects our shared passion for aviation heritage but also opens the door to opportunities that truly don’t come along every day.
For those who may be new to the BBMF, you can explore their official site here:

This is the home of one of the most important heritage aviation organisations in the United Kingdom. The BBMF plays a vital role in preserving and operating some of the most iconic aircraft ever to take to the skies. Their work helps raise essential funds to support veterans, maintain historic aircraft, and ensure that the stories of the men and women who served during the Second World War continue to be told with accuracy, dignity, and respect.
A Living Legacy of British Aviation
The RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight is responsible for a fleet of airworthy historic aircraft that remain active in commemorations, state occasions, and airshows across the country. These aircraft are not museum pieces—they are living, breathing symbols of courage, sacrifice, and engineering brilliance. The current fleet includes:
- 5 Spitfires
- 2 Hurricanes
- 1 Lancaster
- 1 Dakota
- 2 Chipmunks
Each aircraft carries its own story, its own scars, and its own place in the nation’s collective memory. Whether soaring over Buckingham Palace during a state event or performing at a local airshow, they continue to inspire awe in audiences of all ages. Their presence in the skies is a reminder of the extraordinary efforts of the RAF during the Battle of Britain and beyond.
A Unique Opportunity for Collectors and Enthusiasts
What makes our partnership with the BBMF so special is the opportunity it creates for our Aviation and Binoculars community. We are now able to offer a range of unique, authentic items that originate from these very aircraft. These are not replicas or themed merchandise—they are genuine pieces of aviation history, carefully sourced and respectfully transformed into functional, eye-catching collectables.
Our mission has always been to preserve the legacy of aviation and military history in a way that is both meaningful and accessible. Through this partnership, we can now bring you closer than ever to the aircraft and stories that shaped Britain’s wartime experience. Whether you’re a seasoned collector, a history enthusiast, or someone looking for a truly distinctive gift, our curated pieces offer a tangible connection to the past.
Each item we create is handled with the utmost care. We ensure that the integrity and historical significance of every component is preserved, while also crafting pieces that are practical, beautiful, and suitable for display in any home or office. From desk accessories to bespoke display items, our collection is designed to honour the aircraft and the people who flew them.
Access to Exclusive and Rare Items
While we work hard to keep our website updated with the latest arrivals, not everything we source makes it online immediately. Through our partnership with the BBMF and our connections with private collectors, we often have access to rare or one-of-a-kind items that may be exactly what you’re looking for.
If you have a particular interest—perhaps a specific aircraft, squadron, or theatre of war—please reach out to us directly. We’re always happy to help you find something that aligns with your passion. Many of our customers enjoy the personal experience of discussing their interests with us, and we take pride in helping them discover pieces that hold genuine meaning.
Behind-the-Scenes Content and New Arrivals
To give you an even closer look at what we do, we invite you to visit our YouTube channel. There, you’ll find behind-the-scenes content that showcases our restoration process, the stories behind our items, and occasional glimpses into the world of historic aviation. It’s a great way to see how these remarkable pieces are transformed and to learn more about the heritage they represent.
We’re also excited to announce the upcoming launch of our ‘Just Landed’ category on the website. This section will feature the latest additions to our collection, giving you first access to new and limited items as soon as they arrive. If you’re someone who enjoys discovering unique pieces before anyone else, this will be the perfect place to explore.
Supporting the BBMF Through Every Purchase
As part of our partnership with the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Club, we are pleased to offer an exclusive benefit to our customers. For every sale made through our site, we will make a donation to the BBMF on your behalf. This means that every purchase you make not only brings a piece of history into your home but also directly supports the ongoing preservation of Britain’s historic aircraft and the veterans whose stories they represent.
Your support helps ensure that these aircraft remain in the skies for future generations to admire. It contributes to the education, remembrance, and celebration of the RAF’s extraordinary legacy. And it strengthens the vital work of the BBMF, whose dedication keeps these iconic aircraft flying.
Thank You for Being Part of Our Journey
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported Aviation and Binoculars so far. This partnership with the BBMF is a testament to the passion and enthusiasm of our community. Together, we are helping to keep history alive—not as something distant or forgotten, but as something tangible, inspiring, and accessible to all.
Whether you’re here to explore our collection, learn more about aviation history, or simply enjoy the stories behind these remarkable aircraft, we’re delighted to have you with us. We look forward to sharing more exciting developments, new arrivals, and exclusive opportunities with you in the months ahead.
Thank you for supporting our mission to preserve, honour, and celebrate the legacy of British aviation.
