The Volunteers at the Kent Battle of Britain Museum Trust at Hawkinge are incredibly excited, pleased, and proud to announce our latest and most significant project in the fifty-six year history of the Museum. It will see the creation of a permanent Memorial to our heroes The Few within the Museum Grounds.
The Memorial will represent the seven airmen of No.32 Squadron who were famously photographed at RAF Hawkinge on 29th July 1940 and taken only a couple of hundred yards from where the Museum is now housed. The Memorial will see the airmen created in life-size and cast in bronze.
The Memorial will not be on a plinth and out of reach of visitors. The airmen will be siting on the ground in front of the three Gate Guardian Hurricanes where visitors can view up close and walk around and through the installation.
