Pinky - there is a statue of Dowding outside St Clement Danes, where it has been since 1988.
I was aware of that,
Bull at a Gate, however I must admit that it had slipped my mind when I posted my comment. However, I still feel that it is somewhat shameful that apparently there has been no official admission of the injustices served upon Dowding and Park.
As for the 'Big wing' theory; Has that not been somewhat discredited re claims of enemy a/c destroyed when official Luftwaffe losses were finally known? I seem to remember recently reading what I considered to be a reasonably argued critique which found against the big wing theory. Possibly in a book titled Battle of Britain by Patrick Bishop?? Unsure now.
