Talk:RAF Bentley Priory

message: During research for this article I discovered several references stating that Bentley Priory was the headquarters of 11 group during the Battle of Britain. This appears to be an error made by combining its role as HQ of Fighter Command (1926-1968) and of 11 (Fighter) group (1968-). 11 group was headquartered at RAF Uxbridge during the BoB .

message: The Battle of Britain Lace Panels were produced by the Nottingham firm of Dobsons and M. Browne & Co. Ltd. between 1942 and 1947.
They measure 15 ft. high by 5 ft. 6 ins. wide.
The material is fine egyptian cotton and each panel contains 26,000 miles of it!
The design was by Harry Cross. Drafting by Messers Herod and Jackson.
The centre section shows aerial conflict between the types of aircraft that took part in the Battle, a cottage, oak tree and stately home separate this scene from St. Paul's Cathedral and London burning.
The flanking sections show 8 scenes of bomb damaged buildings including Buckingham Palace, The Old Bailey and Bow Church. Contemporary photographs provided the inspiration for these scenes.
Towards the bottom are Winston Churchill's immortal words; "Never was so much owed by so many to so few."
A pilot in the bottom left corner and A.A. gun and searchlight beams in the bottom right corner.
Across the top are the badges of the R.A.F. and the New Zealand, Canadian, South African and Australian Air Forces.

message: There is a great deat more about the early histort of the building here than there is in Bentley Priory, and most of it should be moved there.  I'm shaky on the protocol of merges &c, otherwise I'd do it myself.TheLongTone (talk) 16:40, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
