THE HARDEST DAY

The skies of southern England were today awoken by 24 aircraft commemorating 75 years since the 'Hardest Day' of the Battle of Britain.

The 'Hardest Day' recalls when, on 18 August 1940, Biggin Hill in Bromley came under attack from the Luftwaffe, and post-war studies have shown this was the hardest-fought day in the history of the air war over Britain.
