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

As we near Battle of Britain celebrations we will remember them all.

RIP Ken

Thank you and all the other members of the RAF who bravely fought off the Luftwaffe keeping Britain free.

We will remember. <3

It would have been a very different life probably.

We owe so much to so many.
