Capel Le Ferne

Capel Le Ferne, just outside of Folkestone, is home to the Battle of Britain memorial. It is only around 30 minutes from me so I have been a few times over the years and even seen it from the air when we flew in a helicopter alongside a Spitfire a few years ago. It's a great replace that remembers 'the few' and the visitor centre is worth a look. The upstairs cafe has a balcony that overlooks the site.

Here are some pictures from different visits - the Spitfire and Hurricane are of course replicas and the Stuka a full size sculpture.

Chester Cathedral Memorials

Chester Cathedral is a grade 1 listed building and construction dates from 1093 to the early 1500s. It has been the seat of the Bishop of Chester since 1541. As is the case with many churches and cathedrals it has space dedicated to the armed forces connected with the local area. These memorials relate to the RAF.
