The post you are reporting:
I have just enjoyed watching a Spitfire flying patterns overhead. It is not an unusual sight to see this wonderful plane, accompanied by two helicopters carrying fare paying passengers willing to pay for the privilege of seeing and filming it in flight.
Now it is a solo flight but the last time they flew in numbers in our skies they were defending us from the very real threat of an invasion, and they won. Everyone of those pilots deserves to have his name remembered, not just as a group but as someone's husband, son, father or lover. This also applies to all those men and women who were not visible in the skies, but served and died in our defence here and overseas.
Their deeds are not forgotten, as is shown by the people willing to pay for the experience of flying with them in spirit. The icon of the country they were defending is, without doubt, the White Cliffs and it is here that their names should be remembered and celebrated. That so many nations, so many races and creeds, could pull together in common cause is a valuable lesson that needs to be taught and remembered.
The memorial would pay a debt to each of those individuals and a visitor centre would teach the future generations.
