I am disappointed that so little has come back regarding my 'Battle of Britain 'book, which I am well into, but thank your editor for two marvellous photos of Hawkinge School.

It is a good thing to have a Battle of Britain theme to a fun day and maybe this year you should expand it to take in the April 1st 90th Birthday of the RAF.

Be proud, be very proud of your village associations with the RAF.

Also visit Chilham Castle and see the Uniform of the great architect of the Battle of Britain, Lord Dowding.

His pilots were very fond of him.

Hugh Dundas,D.S.O.,D.F.C., one of Dowding's 'Few' wrote of him: "Is this man a hero to your children?" which says it all and should make us all reflect on these gentlemen who earned us our freedom 68years ago.

Sincerely
