Exact time Lancaster Bomber and Spitfire will fly over Blackpool today

The jets flew over the resort yesterday, delighting fans and they ripped through the skies overheard. And they'll be seen again this afternoon as the display travels from the North West and heads towards Northamptonshire.

The BBMF is flying on each day of the bank holiday weekend to mark 80 years since the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II. The flight operates six Spitfires, two Hurricanes, a Lancaster, a C47 Dakota, and two Chipmunk aircraft.
