Reenactment: Battle of Britain, 70th anniversary
 

Last month I organized and ran the Battle of Britain (Adlertag), 70th anniversary event on the poplar game Battleground Europe: WW2 Online.

It was made clear thought it was a dedication to those who fought in the historic battle, as a way of honoring them by recreating the event.

We had a very good turnout, the event played out despite difficulties, and was so popular it was repeated 3 hours later.

Some screen shots and movies of the event:

A few of the brave defenders getting ready, note the dark, foreboding sky! (All Hurri I's and 2 Blen I. The Spit Ia's lifted from a different field).

And the dastardly aggressor (109E-1, 109E-4, 110, and He-111's) under seemingly optimistic sky:
