Watching the BBC setting up procedure was almost as interesting as the film itself, until we heard from Mahinder Singh Pujji that is. To listen to the personal reflections of a Battle of Britain pilot was humbling, especially as he seemed confused about our reaction to his statement about never having been afraid.

The whole room was mesmerised whilst Mahinder shared his memories of flying above the South of England and how he came to England along with 23 other selected pilots. The film reminded us all of the sacrifice made by those brave men and women on the airfields and in the map rooms as well as in the planes.

It was not all sadness I have to say because Christina who was in the French Resistance made us laugh with her descriptions of the events from her side of the Channel. A thoroughly enjoyable evening and a great privilege for Folkestone to host on behalf of the BBC.
