2020 marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain which was fought in the skies over Britain from 10 July to 31 October 1940.

We commemorate this anniversary, the sacrifices made by The Few and their bravery as immortalised in Winston’s Churchill’s iconic speech. We also commemorate this pivotal campaign’s impact on us today.
