Brilliant visit to @MuseumKent at Hawkinge - looking absolutely glorious ahead of this weekends season opening. Do schedule a visit in this 85th Anniversary year of the #BattleOfBritain
So much to see a day really won’t be enough & the new Watch Office really is a time capsule!

Had some proud days in recent years but this one is up there with the very best! Seeing F/Lt Archie McInnes AE* flying in a Spitfire, aged 99, alongside his beloved Hawker Hurricane for a last time. The last of #thefew to ever fly in a Spitfire back in 2018. Special day 🙌🏻

Just a few months and we reach the 85th Anniversaries of the Battle of France & Battle of Britain. I’ve been so lucky to spend time with the last few of the ‘Few’ involved - just one of who is still with us aged 105! 🤯
A few things in plan to recognise & remember #LestWeForget

1/2 Paid respects at Ranville Cemetery when over for D-Day to one of #TheFew
John Reardon-Parker’s story is a fascinating one & I’d love to find out more! From flying Gladiators with No.804 Sqn during the #BattleOfBritain to joining the Parachute Regiment in 1943 & died D-Day+1

@MuseumKent – at Little Addington, England
If you'd been at RAF Hawkinge for Christmas in 1943, you could have chosen stewed prunes for breakfast.
Stewed prunes.
Not sure that was a wise choice for those flying Spitfires 💩💩

Poignant & Powerful. The Kent Battle of Britain Museum at Hawkinge.
A fitting way to finish off an incredible 10 days for the team.
Our thanks to Dave Brocklehurst and the brilliant team @MuseumKent

Had a wonderful day with spectacular weather visiting the @Memorial_theFew before moving on to @MuseumKent Both are just brilliant but incredibly moving. The Few still don’t get enough recognition in my opinion. To also have some Spitfire flypasts was the cherry on the cake. #BoB
