September 15th 1940 went down in history as the Battle of Britain Day.

This was their finest hour and today we celebrate and remember them!

About these aircraft

• RAF Ace John Plagis flew the Spitfire LF Mk.IXc, a model which specialized in lower altitude engagements, performing best below 6 km. In this space, this Spitfire is close to unmatchable in maneuvering combat. Its armament consists of 20 mm Hispano cannons and machine guns.

• Commanding Officer James Prendergast of No. 414 Squadron, RCAF, piloted this FR Mk.XIVe Spitfire over Normandy in preparation for D-Day. This fighter-reconnaissance version has a beefed up engine, powerful weaponry, and can mount a 500 lb bomb to engage ground targets too.

• The Hurricane Mk.I/L FAA M was a late, improved version of the Mk.I with a metal wing covering. This version is presented in the unique camouflage of the FAA (Fleet Air Arm) training aircraft. Hurricanes formed the backbone of the Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain. This Hurricane is equipped with a wealth of 7.7 mm machine guns with a large ammo count, and has excellent maneuverability!

About this aircraft

• During the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire Fund was created to raise money for the production of military equipment. For a donation, people and organizations could pick an inscription for an aircraft. Crowdfunding was extremely successful, as the fund provided for the creation of 1,500 fighter planes. By the end of the fundraising, almost every major city in the country had left its name on a Spitfire. The Spitfire Mk.IIa Venture I (P7923) is one such aircraft, created with the help of the British public. This Spitfire features a good rate of climb, exceptional maneuverability, and is armed with eight Browning machine guns!
