This thoughtfully crafted and locally inspired one day tour is intended for small groups who wish to explore all elements of the fighter pilots experience with their guide and in a location in which the fiercest fighting took place. You will first be driven in a comfortable air conditioned car to the iconic White Cliffs of Dover with its commanding views over the Channel to France and explore its original 1940 defensive gun emplacements. You will then be taken to the impressive Battle of Britain memorial at Capel-le-Ferne with its moving tributes to The Few including the Sir Christopher Foxley-Norris Memorial Wall and the evocative statue to the unnamed fighter pilot who looks out to the English Channel. From there you will be taken to Hawkinge fighter station and now the Kent Battle of Britain museum with its uniquely evocative and haunting atmosphere. Not only will you be able to view the largest private collection of Battle memorabilia in the world - many of which were unearthed from sites from London and the South East after the war - but also view a range of personal memorabilia and stories relating to the pilots and their recovered aircraft. In this very special location, your guide will explain what it was like for fighter pilots to be in action often using their own words and personal stories.

After leaving the museum, you will be taken to an original and largely unchanged village pub once frequented by aircrew in 1940. It is here that you can enjoy a drink, soak up the atmosphere and re-live how those who survived the day's fighting enjoyed the few hours of respite with their friends. You will also be able to view copies of original combat reports from the archives which were written and signed by pilots during the Battle.

Your day will conclude most fittingly by visiting the nearby Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery where you can pay your own respects to some of the airmen who lost their lives and were laid to rest here.
