Battle of Britain Memorial near Folkestone risks closure without funding

Battle of Britain Memorial near Folkestone risks closure without funding

The Battle of Britain Memorial in Capel-le-Ferne, which honours RAF pilots from 1940, is at risk of closing due to a funding crisis. It gets no government money and relies on visitors and donations to keep the stories of "The Few" alive. Trustees say its future shouldn't depend on yearly generosity and want consistent central support to preserve the site.
