And who cares about them?

Oh yes, there was someone, once, long ago. Elderly fat bloke. Now what was it he said?

"Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour."

It was certainly the RAF's finest hour, and well worth celebrating and commemorating, even if you weren't quite good/lucky enough to serve on one of these squadrons yourself, I'd have thunk.
