Dedicated to the Few

Dedicated to the Few
Stained glass window memorial at Rolls Royce, Derby. This is the Rolls Royce company's tribute and the wording at the bottom of the glass says: "This window commemorates the pilots of the Royal Air Force who in the Battle of Britain turned the work of our hands into the salvation of our country".

My father was an engine fitter / ground crew for one of the RAF Spitfire squadrons based at Hornchurch during the Battle of Britain, he was so proud to have worked on the Rolls Royce Merlin. He'd have loved that window.

That is one of the most impressive and indeed beautiful war memorials I have seen. Thank you for enabling a wider audience to see it - if audience is the right word for visual art.
