This is a must watch to learn about the experiences of the pilots during the Battle of Britain. They all went on to very different paths in their lives but were together again to reflect on life some 29 years earlier. The extra motivation of the Polish pilots is made completely clear even to the time this was filmed! It was so special to see the buildings at Kenley, and in particular the interior of the Officer’s Mess. Thank you for making this piece of history available.
