« on: September 09, 2010, 09:15:40 pm »
The Beeb have a lot of stuff on it's Archive 'Battle of Britain'
page.........
http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/battleofbritain/11401.shtml


 Click on 'Man Alive' from 1969 Funny lots of Irish chap's who were in the Battle of Britain, well, they say they are Irish...Any way its a well made BBC Doc from 1969

At a reunion of No. 501 Squadron at RAF Kenley, surviving Battle of Britain pilots gather to swap stories and recall the events of 1940. The 'Man Alive' team also visit some of the squadron members at their current homes  (in Dublin)and places of work (Also in Dublin)to find out whether being part of such an elite band of men has had a lasting effect on their lives.
