Episode 2 - Now We're Flying - a podcast by A Nice Cup of Histortea

With the 78th anniversary of the most decisive day in the Battle of Britain, we thought it only fair to make it the topic of discussion this week. Learn about the planes and crews involved, the system that was instrumental in helping us win and hear stories from some of the pilots involved. Instead of a Ridiculous Death, this week we've gone for a Ridiculous Survival, hear how Ray Holmes' luck was well and truly in when his Hurricane went down on 15th September 1940.
