PRODUCED TO BENEFIT THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN FIGHTER ASSOCIATION

One of Robert Taylor’s most iconic and best-loved images of the Battle of Britain, RETURN OF THE FEW portrays a loose formation of Spitfires from 92 Squadron heading back to their base after a successful sortie over northern France. As the fighters approach the indomitable white cliffs near Dover, the pilots have decided to make a protective low-pass over a group of Royal Navy armed steam trawlers buffeting up the Channel, operating in their new-found role of inshore coastal patrol. The trawlermen acknowledge their RAF comrades with a friendly wave
