We are proud to commemorate the sacrifice made by all those who defended our skies in 1940. https://www.raf.mod.uk/our-organisation/our-history/anniversaries/battle-of-britain/ #DetectAndDefend | Royal Air Force | Facebook

Amazing achievements, undertaken by amazing people; the pioneers from our formation; those that stood firmly against aerial bombardment; the brave men and women on operations all over the world today; and the future generations who will carry that legacy into our next 100 years. | Royal Air Force | Facebook
