Currently running on BBC IPLayer this is a really good documetary presented by Ewan and Colin McGregor.

It takes you through the events of the summer of 1940 when Britain stood alone with just the RAF standing between us and a land invasion.

They examine the role of some of the pilots and the aircraft they flew like the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Colin actually felt more attached to the Hurricane than the Spitfire

Quality viewing 10/10.

I've been watching it. Although my Dad flew Lancs and was obviously bomber command, been round the RAF all my life and having had a Spitfire at the entrance to many camps we lived on, I found it facinating.

It is. And it's a pity that Biggin Hill has been allowed to fall into the state it is when it is so much part of the history of the Battle itself.

One of the best documentaries I have seen in a while.
