From today's Times. "Almost half of Britons cannot identify the Battle of Britain with more than two thirds of 18-24 year-olds confusing the Second World War aerial campaign with other historic episodes such as part of the English Civil War. A survey of 2,135 adults by the RAF Benevolent fund found 44 percent were unaware of the RAF's successful defence.". For all its faults, if this programme helps raise awareness, it will have helped.
