  • Friends of TFC memberships and renewals

    Our long standing team who process memberships and renewals are under the weather and off sick at the moment so some admin tasks are taking a bit longer than usual to process. We wish them a speedy recovery and apologise for any delays.

    We have a new system due to start this month for memberships and renewals booked online which will speed up the issue of Membership details.

  • Sunday Hangar update

    We are back after a break after Flying Legends. Work continues in the hangar with the Hellcat being moved into the service area along with the Wildcat.

    TFC volunteers were busy today cleaning the aircraft and engineering checks were being carried out on the Spitfire Mk XIV. Thanks to Fred for allowing us to catch this on video:

    A quick note for those who joined as online members recently (including at Flying Legends). We have processed your details but we are upgrading the members area software this week end so we haven’t been able to add everyone on to the online system yet. This should be cleared within the next few days and we thank you for your patience.

    On the subject of online membership we are in the process of updating the Members pages with more background information on the aircraft of TFC (old and new), archive photos and video. This update will happen in stages and we will let you know though the diary as and when.
