DAN’S TOP TEN BATTLE OF BRITAIN PLACES TO VISIT IN ENGLAND

“Duxford is brilliant. They’ve got a mock-up of the Operations Room, which is really important. That’s where we understand this system Dowding employed. It’s unglamorous, but the Battle of Britain was the victory of a process, of a system, and at Duxford you get that sense. There’s all the aircraft, lots of Spitfires and Hurricanes. And it was an airfield, so it gives us the chance to watch flying aircraft.”

Duxford reopens on Aug 1.
