| At the going down of the sun
This line comes from the middle stanza of the poem “For the Fallen”, by Laurence Binyon (1869-1943). The poem was first published in The Times on September 21, 1914, a few weeks after the start of the First World War. The whole of this middle verse is traditionally recited as part of Remembrance Day services throughout the United Kingdom. |
Avro Lancaster
The best known and most successful British heavy bomber used by the RAF during the Second World War was the Avro Lancaster. |
B-24M Liberator
Of similar size to the B-17 Fortress, the Liberator was a later and more advanced design, the prototype flying in 1939. |
BAC / Aerospatiale Concorde
The turbojets developed to power the TSR-2 also powered one of Duxford's most popular exhibits, the British Aircraft Corporation / Aerospatiale Concorde. |
Bristol Fighter
The combat debut of the two-seat Bristol Fighter during the Battle of Arras in April 1917 was far from auspicious. Four out of six aircraft from No.48 Squadron were shot down on their first patrol by five German fighters led by Manfred von Richthoven, the famous Red Baron. |
British Aircraft Corporation TSR-2
Designed initially as a replacement for the Canberra, the British Aircraft Corporation TSR-2 developed into a potential replacement for the RAF 'V' Bomber. |
