There’s a possibility of European Hurricanes reaching double figures soon, but I think next year’s anniversary should centre firmly on The Few true veterans who are still with us. The opportunities to honour them are sadly going to get less as the years pass.
yes i do agree with that David there cant be more than a few left now, at one Duxford show i went to there was a drive along the taxi way of veterans and lowering of legion standards opposite the control tower cant remember which year, 19 Squadron hawks then flew past in a missing man formation at the end of 2 minutes silence. It would be nice to do something along those lines with a missing man formation starting 2 minutes silence then a squadron fly past of all Battle of Britain aircraft, 20 Spitfires, 10 plus Hurricanes 4 109/Bucons, 2 gladiators and a Blenheim.
