Battle of Britain Memorial

Comments
The National Memorial to the Few at Capel-le-Ferne, on the famous white cliffs between Dover and Folkestone, on the Kent coast in the South East of England, is dedicated to the aircrew who flew and fought in one of the most crucial victories in British history.
The memorial itself inspires reflection and respect on the bravery shown by the aircrew - fewer than 3,000 men - who flew, fought and sometimes died to keep Britain free from Hitler's invasion force.
At the back of the site the Christopher Foxley-Norris Memorial Wall lists the names of all those who took part in the Battle, while a replica Spitfire and Hurricane stand nearby as a reminder of the machines they flew to victory.
