Saw the whole event from a high point not far from where we live. They took off from Biggin Hill one by one then circled to form groups and flew off in different directions - sadly not over us. Just hearing the sound of the engines was quite moving. as was imagining that day (and those which followed) with countless dogfights in the skies above. Not far from here is a monument to a pilot whose Hurricane was shot down and crashed in fields during the conflict. As we watched I was thinking about him and all the other brave men who fought for their country at that time.
