This year Britain is commemoratng the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the dog fight in the skies over southern Britain, between the 10th July and 31st October 1940, when the RAF saw off a German air force 4 times its size. As Churchill famously put it ‘Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.’
There are various events throughout the Summer to commemorate the event. On 11 July at the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust, on the south coast of Kent, a special memorial day has been planned featuring a fly past of the iconic aircraft.
