Summary
Once there was a special time - a time when the young and brave flew their Spitfires and Hurricanes to fight a battle for Britain. Those men bred a spirit and courage which still shines in today’s heroes of space. We salute the ‘few’ of yesterday and praise the ‘few’ of today, for there is no easy road from Earth to the stars.
