I went to a WW2 re-enactment event today. Sadly, due to circumstances beyond my control I was limited to taking very few pictures.
Watching the film 'Battle of Britain' last night and taking in the scenes today made me realise firstly,
how close Britain came to being over-run by the Nazis in 1940. Only the bravery of the RAF with their Spitfires held the line.
And secondly, I realise how lucky I am not to have been called up to fight a war, and be left with the physical and mental
scars as a result. They were not a special generation but rather ordinary men and women called upon to do something special for us all.
I guess this picture celebrates the thought that with the distance of time, we can look back and enjoy some of the lighter moments of that period.
And that means freedom won through.
