News: As part of their Bloody Foreigners season, Channel 4 have a new game on their website called Battle of Britain: 303 Squadron.

The Battle of Britain: 303 Squadron game links with the drama documentary The Untold Battle of Britain which tells the story of the 34 Polish fighter pilots who fought in the Battle of Britain as 303 Squadron and shot down 126 Luftwaffe aircraft.

As well as playing the game, your class will also enjoy making a WWII model paper aeroplane courtesy of fishinabottle, the design agency who created Battle of Britain: 303 Squadron. The pdf takes about a minute to load but it's definitely worth the wait.
