Memorial wall
Maintained by the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust, the site at Capel-le-Ferne is dedicated to the bravery and the heroism of Churchill's "Few" who fought in the skies overhead to keep this country free from Hitler's invasion force.
The memorial itself inspires quiet reflection on the bravery shown by the aircrew - fewer than 3,000 men - who flew, fought and sometimes died in what was probably the most crucial victory achieved by this country in the whole of the 20th century.
At the back of the site the Christopher Foxley-Norris Memorial Wall lists the names of all those who took part in the Battle, while a replica Spitfire and Hurricane stand nearby as a reminder of the machines they flew to victory.
