That is truly dreadful news.
What a waste of an exceptional piece of history.
Sad start to 2016.

Dear all,
Personally I don’t think the time constraints of a film would allow for sufficient detail.
I would much rather a series similar in style to ‘Band of Brothers’ that covers just one squadrons involvement in the BoB from July 10th to October 31st.
501 squadron would be a good example. Their ORB is fairly detailed for accuracy and there are numerous aircrew combat reports available to help visualise the aerial side of things. Additionally, there is sufficient film footage of aircrew being interviewed post battle to narrate the opening of each episode (in the same style as Band of Brothers).
The narrative would then allow viewers to engage with the different characters on the squadron and consequently feel a sense of personal loss as characters were killed in action.

Hi
Many thanks for taking the time to take these images and make them available to us all.
There are certainly some interesting details among the pages.

Whilst you are in Central London you could take a trip to Victoria Embankment and see the Battle of Britain memorial. It is very near the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey.
The Abbey has the 75th Anniversary Service in September as well. You would need to apply for tickets for that but there is no cost.
Cheers
