Battle of Britain Day - Lest We Forget...

On the 15th of September 1940 the German Luftwaffe launched a massive assault in the skies over the south east with the aim of obliterating the Royal Air Force. It was a day of heavy fighting, and the Luftwaffe suffered significant casualties. It was a decisive defeat for the Luftwaffe, and since then this date has been celebrated as ‘Battle of Britain Day’. At its zenith, the RAF had only 749 fighter aircraft available compared to 2,550 available to the Luftwaffe. It really was a battle to save Britain. Defending our skies came at a significant cost, with 544 RAF aircrew killed during the Battle of Britain. 312 RAF personnel were killed on the ground. (R.A.F.) Our forebears kept the Nazis out of Britain, lest we forget...

Missed Comments, My Apologies!

Okey dokey, first, I thought I'd post this image to help us remember cooler times, second, my apologies for missing comments from people, sorry indeed, I am! But I had not been receiving notifications from blogspot, there's my reason/excuse, whatever you want to call it. Also, I will answer as Steve the Beermeister because I can't work out how to answer as my other alias, silly old me! Anyway, as you'll appreciate I have eased off on this blog, sad old chap that I am! But many thanks for all your kind thoughts and wishes, cheers m'dears!
