Battle of Britain Parade
Sunday, September 19, 2010
Air Force Heritage Park, located at Air Force Way, north of Ness Avenue at Sharp Blvd commencing at 10:30 a.m.
This parade is held to commemorate the Battle of Britain and honour the members of the Air Force who died during this battle and other battles fought by the Air Force. There is a reason why the Battle of Britain has been selected for symbolic honouring of the dead heroes of the Air Force. The Battle of Britain was entirely an air battle and was one of the most decisive battles in all history. In a brief span of raids during the autumn of 1940, our Commonwealth Air Forces defeated the German Luftwaffe. It is almost certain that Great Britain would have been invaded if the Battle of Britain had been lost. The RCAF is proud of the active part it played in this historic battle.
(The public is invited to attend this historic commemoration)
