Double bill well received

Malcolm

A fascinating double bill of documentary films by Kent's own Peter Williams was the latest in this autumn's series of free Sunday afternoon events at The Wing.


The audience enjoyed two impressive works by the award-winning film maker, with They Fought the Few followed after a short interval by Martha Gellhorn: On the Record, both of which made for fascinating viewing.

 

They Fought the Few highlighted The friendship between RAF ace Bob Stanford Tuck and the Luftwaffe's top-scoring fighter pilot Adolf Galland, while the second film explored war correspondent Martha Gellhorn's reports from the D-Day beaches.


On Sunday 3 November the Trust will welcome John Willis, documentary film maker, author and long-time supporter of the Memorial, who will talk about, and sign copies of, his latest book, Fighter Boy – The Many Lives of Geoffrey Page OBE, DSO, DFC and Bar.


It was Geoffrey Page, shot down and badly burned during the Battle of Britain, who later persuaded a group of people – the embryonic Battle of Britain Memorial Trust – to commission the National Memorial to the Few here at Capel-le-Ferne.

 

The Cockpit Cafe, Scramble Experience and shop will be open as normal. The Wing is now operating winter hours and closing at 4pm.


There are limited seats available for this event, which begins at 2pm, so please book in advance by calling 01303 249292 or emailing enquiries@battleofbritainmemorial.org
