RAF Kenley is one of the most intact Battle of Britain airfields. What really gave Britain the edge during World War II was a secret weapon – an integrated defence system and RADAR. The first radar was developed pre-war in Bawdsey Manor and developed further from a 16th century pub in Purbeck, becoming fully operational from bases such as Great Baddow.

With the blitz taking its toll, Britain had to keep it's manufacturing going, leading to the birth of shadow factories. These large underground hidden sites were crucial in the ammunition production; one of the most expansive being Drakelow Tunnels.

As Britain's victories mounted so did the prisoners of war. Across Britain a network of camps sprang up and the best remaining example is Eden Camp in Yorkshire. It remains a fascinating insight into life in the camps and what having POWs living in the UK meant for the locals.
