    I thought that quote was referring to the Battle of Britain (1940) rather than VE day (1945).

    It was referring to the 1940 R.A.F. contribution, but the spirit of "the few" applies to ALL who served Britain during the Second World War Andy. I am sure that you know that. Without the decisive win during the Battle of Britain we would no doubt not have had a V.E. Day.
