This is an area set aside to honour the pilots that flew in the "Battle of Britain" from 10th July to 31st October 1940. There is a memorial wall that lists those brave airmen that gave their lives in the battle. There is a sculpture of a pilot, a spitfire and hurricane aircraft and a sculpture of the squadron's dog - aptly named Bob. There is a visitor centre that is open during the summer months and a car park that gives flat access to the area. From the air the memorial spreads out like the propeller blades of an aircraft.
