June 18 - On this day in 1940, Winston Churchill told the House of⁠ Commons: “What General Weygand called the Battle of France is⁠ over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Let us⁠ therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves⁠ that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a⁠ thousand years, men will still say: ‘This was their finest hour’.”⁠

The Battle of Britain Memorial exists to honour ‘the Few’ and⁠ preserve their legacy for future generations.⁠

When we talk about the Battle of Britain, we usually talk about the⁠ airmen. But that’s only half the story.⁠
⁠
There were countless men and women worked behind the scenes⁠ to keep them flying - repairing runways, managing⁠ communications and supporting every aspect of the war effort ✈️⁠
⁠
The Blade of Honour is a lasting tribute to these often unseen⁠ contributors. Each name is set into a commemorative tile and⁠ placed within the propeller blades at the Memorial, preserving⁠ their legacy for future generations.⁠
⁠
Reserve a tile for £490 or register your interest for just £5, fully⁠ refundable if the nomination does not meet eligibility.⁠

Modeller Dom Pound, who created the superbly detailed 1/24 scale model of Wing Commander Geoffrey Page’s No. 56 Squadron Hurricane unveiled at last year’s Memorial Day, is continuing his ambitious project of remembrance ✈️

Dom is creating more than 100 hyper-realistic models that will be displayed in museums and memorials across the country in memory of those who took part in the Battle of Britain.

He has now created a second piece for the Battle of Britain Memorial, a Ju 87 Stuka. The aircraft was crewed by Uffz V. Schroder and Gefr H. Lipsius of 6./StG 1 and was shot down on 25 July 1940 by pilots of No. 56 Squadron, including Geoffrey Page.

This latest model represents the 42nd dedication in Dom’s 1940 Project of Remembrance and is the first Ju 87 to go on public display. The project has now expanded to commemorate 820 aircrew across 60 museums and collections.

Here is Dom’s latest creation, which will be delivered to the Memorial later this summer.
