Great write up, well researched. Good to see some positive feedback on Hendon. The RAF Museum's Boulton Paul Defiant first entered squadron service as a night fighter in mid September 1940 so also counts as a Battle of Britain veteran, although it did not see action in that time. It is now at Cosford, Shropshire.
