What I find most intrguing about the BoB, was that on BoB day, a Dornier Do-17 detatched from its group and set off for buckingham palace. A Hurricane pilot noticed this, and set off in pursuit. He went to fire, but he was out of ammo. So he pulled around and used the wing of his Hurricane to chop the tail section of the Dornier off. The Dornier crew crashed to their doom, but the Hurricane pilot (I forget his name...Ray Charles or something like that I think) managed to bail out and survived thorough the war. He lives to this day, and recently they tried to locate the place where his Hurricane crashed. They cornered off a street in London and dug a huge hole, and they managed to recover the complete engine and lots of other small pieces, once of which included the stick and control panel.
