The Allies claimed supremacy over Britain’s airspace 79 years ago today

Armed Forces personnel stand at attention in Memorial Park at a commemorative ceremony for the 79th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain.

The Battle of Britain was fought in the summer of 1940 when the Royal Air Force and the Royal Canadian Air Force confronted the German Luftwaffe on a daily basis until the Allies claimed victory on September 15, 1940.

The ceremony included a parade consisting of a 30-person flight from 22 Wing/CFB North Bay. Members from the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 23, the 422 Royal Canadian Air Force Association, 406 Royal Canadian Air Force Alliance, and 547 Canuck Royal Canadian Air Cadets Squadron were also on parade. Veterans were in attendance to observe the wreath-laying ceremony.
