She expressed her admiration and gratitude, and that of her constituents, at the involvement of so many RAF personnel from Lincolnshire in general and Coningsby in particular.

Ms Atkins said: “This is a great anniversary for the ‘Bomber County’.

“The connection today with the 21st Century Typhoons and the proud history represented by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight - both from Coningsby - is very special for all of us.

“Congratulations and thanks to all in the RAF on this wonderful centenary.”
