A rather pleasant day overall, despite the half-term/Flying Scotsman crowds.

My father fought for King and Country in the @royalairforce during #BattleOfBritain in #WorldWar2. He survived, but was wounded when the Luftwaffe bombed his airfield.

Fabulous talk at Bentley Priory #Museum 🏛 by Dom Pound 'Coastal Command 1939 - 1945'
Equipped with largely unsuitable aircraft Coastal Commands contribution to the Norwegian Campaign, Battle of Britain & disruption to Op Sealion plans are poorly recognised 🤔

Germany's daylight campaign was running out of road. On this day in 1940, the Luftwaffe's daylight assault gave way to night bombing as the Battle of Britain reached its final phase. Fighter Command held.

The Luftwaffe massed against London on this day in 1940, with Bristol hit as a diversion. German losses were severe, including senior commanders. Fighter Command paid heavily too. More: rafch.link/vXGK #BattleOfBritain

Statement September 20, 2026- Ottawa, ON - National Defence / Canadian Armed Forces The Honourable David McGuinty, Minister of National Defence, and the Honourable Jill McKnight, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence, have issued the following statement: "Today, we honour the Canadians who helped defend the United Kingdom during one of the defining air campaigns of the Second World War. Fought from July 10 to October 31, 1940, the Battle of Britain was the Royal Canadian Air Force's first air combat of the Second World War, and a moment when Canada chose to stand with its allies against the threat of invasion. Canadians served in both Royal Air Force (RAF) squadrons and No.1 (Canadian) Squadron, later renamed 401 squadron. More than 100 Canadian pilots and an estimated 300 Canadian groundcrew participated in the battle. Twenty-three Canadian pilots paid the ultimate sacrifice during the battle. On this day, we commemorate the veterans of all nations who took part in this crucial battle, and all those who have served throughout our aviation history in times of peace and conflict." Quotes "The Battle of Britain demonstrated the decisive impact of air power and the strength of allies standing together in common defence. The courage of Canadian aviators and groundcrew in that campaign helped forge a legacy of service and readiness that continues to guide the Royal Canadian Air Force today." The Honourable David J. McGuinty, Minister of National Defence "Today, we honour the Canadians who served in the Battle of Britain and remember those who never returned home. Their courage in a time of great uncertainty helped defend freedom and shape a better future. Their sacrifice reminds us that peace is never guaranteed, and that we share a responsibility to preserve their stories and carry their legacy forward." The Honourable Jill McKnight, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence
