Please don't open up that can of worms or people will start asking what happened to the RAF when the Battle of the Atlantic kicked off nearly a year before the Battle of Britain or what happened to the RAF during the Norway campaign, the BEF fiasco in France, the evacuation of Crete, the Channel dash, the sinking of Repulse and POW, etc.

P.S. Did you know that a FAA Skua shot down the first German aircraft of WW2 and that FAA aircraft from HMS Indefatigable shot down the last enemy aircraft of the war? Every day's a school day, eh?
