Well now,
The 15year olds are being taught in their history class( for the exam GCSE, UK) about the Battle of Britain. They will be concerned to understand the underlying causes, the events, and the consequences of the conflict. Their investigation is centered around the Key Question, Who won the Battle of Britain? Surely an open and shut case? A case that, before the lesson I did an unscientific 'straw poll' to see what they already thought, they already know the answer to.....'Britain did Sir!'
Whatstruck me most was the willingness with which they undertook the quest. Answers....next week!

  The British with help from some European allies such as Hungarian and Polish pilots.

  1in 5 Pilots were British and they were outnumbered but turned the war with a victory.

  If Britain had lost then the world right now would be ran by nazis. It was the single mosty important victory in human history.
