On 15 September 1940, the skies over Britain decided the course of a war.

Among the fighters that climbed to meet it was the Hawker Hurricane — the aircraft that lends its name to our collection, and the one that claimed more of the enemy than any other RAF fighter of the battle.

Eighty-six years on, we mark Battle of Britain Day with a nod to the pilots who flew, and the machines that carried them. AVI-8 — worn in their honour.
