Battle of Britain, fading from living memory

Seventy years ago the RAF was locked in a life and death struggle with the Luftwaffe in the skies over England. . .

The bravery of the RAF pilots was captured in Winston Churchill's speech on 20 August when he said "never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few".

Those left of The Few, as those pilots became known, are now in their 90s. Some of them fear they will soon not be around to remind people of the events that summer.
