I am a member/ex-member of the Forces. Can I get a discount on the ticket price?

The RAF Leuchars Battle of Britain At Home Day is self funding with no costs falling to the MOD.  This includes the need to pay for RAF aircraft visiting the show and the provision of insurance for all service personnel and service vehicles used in support of the air show.  Unfortunately we cannot offer discounts to members/ex members of the Armed forces. In recognition of the work undertaken by all Service and Civilian personnel who work on the air show weekend, we provide a number of free adult and child tickets as required.
