OVER the next two years, our society will be siting commemorative plaques in the schools, colleges and universities where airmen who fought in the Battle of Britain were educated.
Many of your readers will undoubtedly know of those gallant young airmen who were born or raised in your area and went on to fly Spitfires, Hurricanes, Blenheims and Defiants in the Battle of Britain, and, if so, they may know where they went to school.
We urgently need to discover the names and locations of these schools, and would be most grateful for any assistance from your readers in that direction. If anyone has information could they please contact me.
