We shall always remember

I do hope Cranston fine arts don't mind. Some 70
years ago the Royal Air Force fought their hardest 
day of the Battle of Britain. Young men of whom
was said 'they were not the men their fathers
 were,they grew their hair and slouched about,
 yet before breakfast they soared like eagles 
and shot a brace of Messerschmidt's down


The pilots of the Royal Air Force used the railway 
lines to navigate by, indeed so did the pilots of the
Luftwaffe. In so many ways the railways were part 
of those dark days. They served our nation well.

We shall never forget their very great sacrifice.
Those few were just enough.
