This national memorial to the men who fought the Battle of Britian is located on top of the white cliffs at Capel-le-Ferne, between Dover and Folkestone.

The Battle, which in large part took place in the sky over the County of Kent, lasted from 10 July to 31 October 1940. During that time over 500 fighter pilots lost their lives defending Britian. Without their sacrifice it is essentially certain that World War II would have been lost. In the words of Winston Churchill: 'Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.'

The Memorial has had to close during the lockdown necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, a major source of income, the revenue generated by site visitors, has been lost. The members of the Association's Management Committee agreed to make a donation to support the Memorial after hearing of the financial difficulties resulting from the temporary closure.

For information about the Memorial, please visit its website at www.battleofbritainmemorial.org

In response to concerns about the coronavirus, the Management Committee has taken the decision to suspend all Association activities. It is not clear how long this suspension will need to continue. The Committee intends to follow government recommendations in this regard, and plans to resume operations as soon as it is considered prudent to do so. In the meantime, it hopes that all Members of the Association are able to keep safe and well.
