Battle of Britain Day Today


Recommended Posts

I just thought I'd remind you that it's the official Battle of Britain Day, 15th of September.

Spare a thought for the 544 RAF aircrew that died during the fighting and if you're feeling so disposed the 2500 German aircrew that died as well, and the 23,000 civilians killed in the bombing raids during that period.

These are the last two aircraft still flying that took part in the battle:
