This is not really news:

....but, is September 15th still recognized as "Battle of Britain Day" in the UK?

[I.Don No]

As far as I am aware it is..........always has been, and I have not heard of any change.

[stewey]

Thanks, I. Don No.

Yes but it is all propaganda according to this:

Rov, retrospectology is perhaps one of the more precise "sciences". However, as someone said, "We shall have to kill more of their young men than what they kill our young men." I'm not really dwelling in the past; I was just wondering if people in the UK still remember.

I am sure an equal number remember as do an equal number do not know, but there is no National 'Day' as far as I am aware .

[Mamyalynne]

True respect Tony I totally agree,

[stewey]

You do, and should, think about those young men in their late teens, early twenties, and older, racing across the tarmac to their airplanes to engage the enemy. But now I feel the same way about the 'enemy': most of those young German guys didn't really want to do it either.

Stewey you are right and that makes it all the more tragic, young hearts and minds played with but yet the blame continues
