I won't let my kids forget the Battle of Britain. My father's eldest brother was one of The Few, flying Hurricanes. Unfortunately we never knew until many years later as my father had been given away shortly after he was born and never knew his family. His father, my grandfather was in the RFC and I served in the RAF myself but long before the family history was known. Now I insist my kids remember. The second brother was also a fighter pilot, flying Spitfires. Both 'boys' were lost in 1941 aged just 20 and 19.
