🇬🇧 🇵🇱 On this day, we remember the start of the Battle of Britain and the vital role of Polish RAF squadrons like No. 303. Their legacy lives on in today’s UK–Poland partnership, including Operation Chessman. raf.mod.uk/what-we-do/our… #StrongerTogether #FlyandFight

I am deeply saddened to learn of Lord Tebbit’s passing. A survivor of an IRA bombing, a former RAF pilot, and a seasoned politician, he will be missed. He often remarked to me that the Battle of Britain would not have been won without the vital contributions of the Polish pilots.

With a war on Europe’s doorstep, only a third (35.2%) of the British public are committed to increases in defence spending. 29.6% are for keeping it at the current level, 21.2% want it decreased. Source: @focaldataHQ #LDC2025

In the face of darkness, a little light 🕯 Two Polish airmen, exiles themselves, were struck by the plight of children whose homes had been destroyed in the Coventry Blitz. They paid for a party for 200 children in Oxford Town Hall, and waited upon the children themselves.
