The outcome of the Battle of Britain was very very important indeed, but it wasn't a victory..
I always get the impression that there's a weird conception of Victory here: take the Schneider Cup, did you win that one too? I'd be embarrassed to say yes to that.
the cultural recognition is debatable me thinks. What do you base it on, the fact that you have a celebrative square in London?

To address your points
1.
I'm seriously going to leave the DVD, I think ignoring a vast amount of information and deciding that a DVD extra is the best source is just daft.
2.
What has the Schneider trophy got to do with this?
3.
Well the square, the preserved HMS Victory, the currency (up to quite recently), the Trafalgar day celebrations (widely celebrated on the 200th anniversary) , the beer... hmmmmmm beer etc, etc.
