Remarkably all the pilots in this picture survived the Battle of Britain, although four of them were killed in action during the following year.

As we approach Battle of Britain Day on 15th September, the number of living veteran airmen who flew and fought in the Battle in 1940 has dwindled further with the deaths of two of ‘The Few’ in the last few weeks.
