The men & women that saved the world!
The NATIONS of THE FEW - Project Aims and Ambitions
As we move into this new era of British trade with the rest of the world, we must work hard
to promote the positives in Brand Britain.
We must celebrate and have pride in our culture.
Equally we must celebrate our internationalism, our part played in the cultural heritage of our planet.
The Battle for Freedom and for Humanity
The Battle of Britain is probably the most important fight in modern history. At stake was the freedom and humanity of the entire world.
Young men and women from sixteen nations fought and flew, many paid the ultimate price to prevent the spread of the axis of evil that was simply set upon ruling the entire world.
When we stood together for a common cause humanity won through.
But most of us don't know that the Battle of Britain was an international effort.
The NATIONS of THE FEW celebrates the sixteen nations of the Few.
We sixteen have something to be very proud of. We are a sister and brotherhood who stood in the face of abject evil and shouted back out across the ocean.
“NO...we choose FREEDOM”
Our cultures and our ways of life were not crushed. We endured and we embraced the joy in our differences.
Be Proud of our Spitfire Heritage.
HEATHROW Exhibition
Our ambition is to hang a full size museum quality SPITFIRE from the roof of Heathrow Airport as per the installation at Utland Airport in Norway.
Below the installation on the ground we'd create an interactive exhibition that will tell the story of THE NATIONS of THE FEW and that of each pilot who flew.
Travellers would be able to select individual nations via touch screens to learn specifically about, and taking pride in their nations part played.
Individual stories of the pilots would also be available for selection. This is a particularly warming aspect for family members to view this tribute to their relatives.
