Battle of Britain...the Gloucestershire story
This Wednesday it's the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
We will be telling the story on the Breakfast Show of the 501 County of Gloucester Squadron. They were the only squadron to fight from the Battle of France in May 1940 to the end of the Battle of Britain without being rested.
And if you're interested in World War II aviation in the county, take a look at our exploration of one of the fifty or so abandoned airfields in Gloucestershire:
Hi, I'm Mark Cummings. Every day I explore all things Gloucestershire on my breakfast show. The stories, the people, the history, the news - the complete package of what makes the county tick. On the show, and on this blog, we share our knowledge, stories and experiences to celebrate life in Gloucestershire.
