- Sir Winston Churchill's great-grandson has officially unveiled a sculpture of a Second World War pilot at Biggin Hill Airport, to commemorate the Battle of Britain.
World War Two veterans gathered with Randolph Churchill and the Mayor of Bromley at the former RAF station for an event to honour all who fought so courageously to prevent Hitler's invasion of Britain.
The Battle of Britain marked the victory of the RAF over the Luftwaffe and is seen as a crucial turning point in the war.

To the greatest generation my thanks and humble remembrances.
Thank you guys for my freedom, God bless you all 🙏🏻
To all those in both Fighter and Bomber Command.... I salute you.
as someone who loves aviation thats a lovely statue great tribute
Surely this should be a bigger event with government ministers there and soldiers?
Running the damn country seems to be a monumental task for this government, best let them sit this one out mate
@@SF7PAKISTAN Running it into the ground you mean?
I regularly pass Biggin Hill and always think of those brave pilots who took off from here, a lovely fitting memorial to the few
About ruddy time. We owe our way of live to those brave men and women.
A great tribute to great men (and women).
Thanks for my freedom bless you all. Both fighter command and bomber command
Good to see something suitable for Biggin on the Bump. Its been so rundown, without the importance it held 50 years ago.
Better still to hear centinarians still going strong. Nice one.
Imagine tuning in your radio to listen to a dogfight that's going on over your head! Amazing! I wonder if he was a wireless operator during his bomber command days?
Still amazes me how the RAF turned back the Luftwaffe. Those were some motivated men!
Did Bomber Command ever receive their own memorial?
Yes Alan.... It's located in Green Park,London and was unveiled in 2012.
Very few were acually 12 feet tall.

A luta e de todos nós, ficar em cima do muro é burrice!
Deus pátria família liberdade.
Bolsonaro o melhor presidente do Brasil e do mundo inteiro!🙏🏻
Why is it all stripey?
