Seventy years since the Battle of Britain...

Winston Churchill quote....

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."

Around 500plus RAF pilots lost and a few thousand Luftwaffe pilots lost.

When Field Marshall Montgomery said to Churchill: "I neither drink nor smoke and am a hundred percent fit", Churchill's reply was: "I drink and smoke and I am two hundred percent fit."
