Another often forgotten plane was the Armstrong Whitley which was obsolete by 1940 but flew a lot of missions for bomber command throughout the Battle of Britain regardless:
In many ways its sad that many aircraft that 1000's of allied crew fought and died in are forgotten purely because they lack the "glamor" to capture the public imagination.
The Short Stirling would also be nice to see eventually as well, though it didn't get into combat until Feb '41 so just missed the Battle of Britain. Allegedly despite being a 4 engined bomber the Stirling could out-turn Ju 88 and Bf 110 nightfighters.
