Kent's finest hour

At KM Group we’re proud to pay tribute to the brave men famously described by Churchill as ‘The Few’ in his endlessly quoted speech to MPs on August 20, 1940.

We have a special supplement marking the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, much of which was played out over Kentish skies between the RAF and the Luftwaffe.

Much of our victory was, of course, down to the skill and courage of our pilots, some of whom still live in the county and recall their exploits in the supplement.

It was also down to two of the greatest feats of engineering in aviation and military history – the Spitfire and the Hurricane.  

You don’t have to be a natural appreciator of military history to enjoy the double-page poster of all the aircraft involved in the Battle of Britain in the supplement.

Equally, you don’t have to have been born before the war to appreciate the amazing human stories told in its pages.
