The Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel-le-Ferne in Kent provides a fascinating, hands-on introduction to the heroism and sacrifice displayed by the Few, the men of the RAF who protected this country from invasion in 1940. It features the Wing visitor centre, home to The Scramble Experience, an immersive, audio-visual extravaganza that explains how the Few were able to repel the Luftwaffe and turn the tide of the war.
Housed in a building that reflects the iconic wing shape of R J Mitchell’s Spitfire, one of the two aircraft most closely associated with the Battle of Britain, the Scramble Experience has proved a massive hit with visitors since it opened in 2015.
The tranquil site on Kent’s famous white cliffs also includes the National Memorial to the Few, the Christopher Foxley-
Norris Memorial Wall and a replica Hurricane and Spitfire, as well as a café and gift shop. Admission to the site and to the Memorial is free, although there is a small parking charge. Admission charges apply to The Scramble Experience.
