Officially opened last Tuesday by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother
The fate of the free world hung in the balance during the summer of 1940 while the Royal Air Force fought and eventually beat the Luftwaffe in the skies over Britain. In so doing they saved the country from invasion for the rest of the Second World War.
Last Tuesday HER MAJESTY QUEEN
ELIZABETH THE QUEEN MOTHER opened the new Battle of Britain Museum at Hendon as a national memorial to the victorious forces. As Sir Winston Churchill recorded at the time ' Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.'
