Description
This historically significant site was the secret heart of
Britain’s wartime air defence. It was here that the battle of Britain was
observed, planned and controlled by ordinary men and women doing extraordinary
things. You too can stand in rooms where Churchill and King George VI watched
the RAF plotters and controllers tirelessly coordinate the crucial defence of
the nation. Today, the original operations room appears exactly as it did at
the height of the battle of Britain on 15 September 1940 at 11.30am. See
genuine artefacts from the battle of Britain and beyond. Test your skills
identifying aeroplanes. The story of the people behind the innovation and the
politics that shaped this invention is told for the first time.
