	Dear All During the Battle of Britain, our young pilots were outnumbered. They worked relentlessly by going back up in the planes to fight of the Nazi Forces. If this battle had been lost, our country would have been invaded and it can only be imagined what life would be like. To thank and remember all those who defended us at this time. Best wishes. xx
