We remember the few. In honour of the pilots who defended the nation during the Battle of Britain 76 years ago.

Battle of Britain - We remember the few

76 years ago a small group of valiant Royal Air Force pilots defended our nation against the full onslaught of the German Luftwaffe. Today we remember the few.
