...the 40+ a/c formation out of Goodwood on the 15 Sept.
1 x Blenheim, 8 x Hurricanes and 36 x Spits in the air at the same time - very unlikely ever to be repeated.
Very pleased that the Blenheim will be represented, as 10 squadrons of the type are officially recognised as having taken part in the Battle of Britain as well as the understandably better known Spitfires and Hurricanes. The only Battle of Britain group of medals I ever owned was a posthumous group to a Blenheim air gunner. His crew were credited with one kill during the Battle, an Me109, no mean feat for a Blenheim.
Also taking part in smaller numbers were Beaufighters, Whirlwinds, Defiants, Fairey Fulmers and Grumman Martlets of the FAA, and even the old Gloster Gladiator.
