When I was younger the opportunities to commemorate the Battle of Britain were widespread. Towns had events and every RAF station had something if not an airshow. With the massive reduction in official locations and increases in costs, for years the only air displays were annual Biggin Hill commercial events, now there may be a commercial airshow loosely linked to the event.
When at Bournemouth for the Air Festival, now the weekend before last, the Royal air Force flew it's Typhoon II with the amazing new livery. My friends and I spotted it on the Monday when it went off for the photo shoot related to in the linked news item.
We can still experience the freedoms that the pilots of the Battle of Britain fought for, alongside many others, but whose defence of our homeland led to the relative peace and comfort we have lived in.
