Battle of Britain Hall

Here the focus is mainly on the crucial air battles fought in the skies over Southern Britain in 1940. See the excavated and poignant remains of Sergeant Dennis Noble’s Hurricane, enjoy the many fine poems written by airmen during the conflict, examine retrieved remains of Merlin, Junkers Jumo and Griffon engines.
Here you will also find the signatures of many of the Battle of Britain pilots, an original searchlight and a display of a number of Luftwaffe artefacts as well as a feature on photo interpretation, an exhibition of photo reconnaissance cameras and the actual uniform worn by Flt Lt James Nicolson during the action for which he won RAF Fighter Command’s only VC during the Second World War.
