20) Battle of Britain Selection 20) Battle of Britain Selection.jpg
This week's photo pack is a selection of Battle of Britain images from the collection of Dennis Knight. Dennis was one of the first Battle of Britain researchers who was collecting photos and information back in the 1960s. As such, he has the originals of many well known photos that have been copied and recopied over the years by other authors. We already have most of his collection in the library, but this set was found in a few 'hidden' boxes quite recently!
