Visit to the Bentley Priory Museum Stanmore, HQ of the Battle of Britain!

Karen will be leading a visit to the fascinating Bentley Priory Museum in Stanmore. It used to be home to the RAF and now it’s a fantastic museum dedicated to the pilots who flew in the Battle of Britain.

They say: “The Battle of Britain was a decisive battle during World War II, and was fought in the skies above Britain between 10 July and 31 October 1940. Had the battle been lost, Britain would have almost certainly been invaded by Nazi Germany. RAF Bentley Priory played a pivotal role during the Battle of Britain as Headquarters Fighter Command. The museum explores the important Battle of Britain history of Bentley Priory through the stories of The One, The Few and The Many."
