Happy Battle of Britain Day
Sept. 15th, 1940
Sorry I haven't any spiffy pictures to recognize the day, BUT our British cousins are invited to post any offerings (hint- hint Bomberflight or ManOnTheFence etc.)

Not just Spitfires. A few pics of Hurricanes taken at a Battle of Britain Hurricane airfield - North Weald

BBMF Hurricane taxies up the runway past our one remaining pre-war hangar, which still displays bomb splinter damage

One of our Duty Officers retired last year. He has created a number of Hurricane sculptures around the Airfield. The latest one, which was put in position a couple of weeks ago, portrays a Hurricane vic scrambling in 1940 to commemorate 56, 151 and 249 Squadrons.
