Breitling Fighters?

Came across this group of pics...
What was the Breitling Fighter team, did Breitling own the warbirds? And do they still fly?

Breitling sponsors a number of warbirds and vintage aircraft, as well as many aviation events (such as the Reno Air Races). My favorite Breitling-sponsored aircraft is definitely the Super Connie! 
They have some stuff on their web site: http://www.breitling.com
As for me, I own two Breitling watches
but no warbirds 
Cheers!

The Breitling Fighters were owned and operated by The Old Flying Machine Company at Duxford, under Breitling sponsorship. When the sponsorship finished a few years back, a few of the aircraft were sold to new owners in New Zealand. With Ray Hanna's death a couple of years back, OFMC are now down to operating just the P-51D and Spitfire IXb.
