YOU MUST ADHERE!
Those teeth
If only the Nazis had of thought of small boats 🤔
And better grammar
Will air shows be net zero too?
What was the point? We've lost our freedoms and independance regardless
Polish pilots in the Battle of Britain
in just 42 days 303 Squadron shot down 126 German planes, becoming the most successful Fighter Command unit in the Battle of Britain.
Sadly not many British ppl known that.
Yeah, and take a look at what we "won"… 😔
Take a look at the western world today.
Does it look like we won?
Imagine if those brave men could've seen what their treacherous leaders had planned for the countries after…
Went to this show a few years ago.. brilliant day. As a son of a ex hawker employee who went through the war as a engineer/tool maker doing his small part in the construction of the hurricane..obviously I have a favourite aircraft !!
Thank you for commemorating the HEROS that fought for liberty.
Celebrating the Battle of Britain while the country is being invaded by illegal immigrants on boats, how sad is that.
Why did those brave young men bother.
It disgusts me that our politicians are letting people float across the channel and welcoming them with open arms, when these people gave their lives to defend it . That generation would not stand for parliament as it is now . They are a disgrace
Very diverse GB news hmm do wonder which idiot will get to complain about the whiteness of the young men who died in the Battle of Britain first ?
83 years since.
Tim Strofton doing a decent impression of a George michael tribute act 🙂 The world owes those 20 year olds from 1940, for their freedoms they take for granted so easily. Europe would be flying under a single flag without them …oh wait 🙂
Looks a great day out.
The Battle of Britain was 83 years ago. It was in summer and fall of 1940. By 1943, the US was in the war and UK, the US and Canada were fighting in Italy and the allied bomber campaign against Germany was well underway. Germany was losing on the Russian front. The tide of WW II had turned 80 years ago.
A woke report of box ticking and interviewing youngsters and people who hardly understand the event and its significance, you could've interviewed more experts and public who are generally knowledgeable about this event and appreciation of the battle of Britain.
In the finale they had 13 Spitfires and 3 Hurricanes. A glorious sound.
I have to utmost respect for the men in the air and people on the ground for what they achieved in saving the UK from a German invasion and ultimately began the resistance to Nazi world domination. But the Battle of Britain was fought in 1940 not 1943 so it is 83 years ago. Another example of IWM going woke?
Not one MP supporting this .Bring back the Rope for the Torys/Labour government
I'll be there tomorrow.. looking forward to it.
During the war!😂
Once the politicians ban gasoline/ petrol engines.. you’ll never see these magnificent treasures in the air anymore
Anyone else confused by the headline? 80th anniversary would have been three years ago. And the reporter said people are in costume. Says it all doesn't it? Mate, it's uniform: the war wasn't netflix, they didn't wear costume. Fckng millenial smh.
This country is a skin suit of a nation.
Because the airfield itself has changed little since WWII it is a living museum. It's what makes it such an attractive venue for airshows. It will be even better if they take on Flying Legends again.
This takes me back over 65 years when my father was stationed at Duxford and we were regular visitors to the annual BoB show. Have not been since 1959 so need to get my act together as only just down the road from my current home. Thanks for posting. Great to see.
By the way the Battle of Britain was in 1940. You do the maths😅😂😢
Great air show……… pity they don't hold Flying Legends here anymore.
Why isn’t Battle of Britain day a Bank Holiday? About time Politicians showed some respect for our proud History.
It was a fantastic show and perfectly organised. On Saturday, the weather was perfect for flying but also on Sunday they made the best of the weather. The atmosphere and the wonderfully dedicated re-enactors really made it an unforgettable event. I am glad that I could be there, even if the journey from Germany was a bit longer.
The cost of getting a ticket is now too expensive for people ie no seniors price tickets 🎟️ shame .
