Battle Of Britain Veterans Hold Final Reunion

RAF Veterans from a Squadron which took part in the Battle of Britain have held their final reunion today in Wiltshire. 

Airmen and their families met up for a special celebration to mark the centenary of 85 Squadron. 

With around 100 people in attendance, the Day began with a special service at the Parish church where a commemorative plaque was unveiled.

85 Squadron played a key part in the battle of Britain and gained a reputation for night fighting. 

The Squadron began in the final stages of World War 1 and today a replica SE5a aircraft flew into the airfield at Upavon.

The Squadron went on to see service throughout the Cold War finally disbanding in 1991.
