Here's a few more 'Battle' shots. (I spend more time with 'shots' than flying! And that's a tribute to Cliffs of Dover ).

Hi MB_Avro_UK
They say the best things come in small packages and that definatly applies to The Kent Battle of Britain Museum at Hawkinge
Me and Plt Off JRB Meaker went their last Summer and it was amazing,
it is with out a doubt one the best aviation Museums
I have been to[including Hendon & Duxford] the exhibits and Artifacts from these Brave Men on both sides
is second to none and if you have any interest in the Battle of Britain THIS IS A MUST to visit But dont Bring a camera.[due to Artifact theft in the past that have been carried out to order, photography is NOT allowed inside the Museum]
Its only less than 10 Miles from where I live so I feel another visit coming on
Thanks for the heads up Buddy
Regards
Keith

Hi Keith,

I was there with my wife about four years ago. We stayed in a Folkestone hotel on the sea-front (CoD's rendition of the town is surprisingly accurate) and the next day headed for the museum.

It was blisteringly hot day! The museum is run by enthusiasts/ volunteers and has no Government help. What a surprise!!

It occupies about all that is left of Hawkinge airfield. The rest is a modern housing estate. And a very impressive museum it is. The camera ban is counter productive in my view. More photos = more publicity = more visitors = more money. Anyway, that's my untried financial equation...

There's a pub nearby that pilots during the Battle of Britain used to frequent. It now has many photos and models. I wasn't driving, so I managed a few in honour of the Few.

We've been to Dover many times and stayed locally. You can't beat the cliff top views. On a bad day, you can see France...

Best Regards,
Bob.
