I've had an amazing day at Biggin Hill for the flypast marking the 75th anniversary of the 'Hardest Day' of the Battle of Britain. A total of 18 Spitfires and 6 Hurricanes took part, as well as 41 veterans. I had a media pass for the event - the only amateur photographer to have been given such access, and I've spent the day amongst all the professional guys
and taken over 900 photos... But above all, it's been an incredible privilege to meet some amazing veterans and hear about their experiences. This is Squadron Leader Tony Pickering - a Battle of Britain pilot who flew on 18 August 1940.
