#OnThisDay in 1940 the Luftwaffe attacked HMS Foylebank at Portland.
Jack Mantle, a 23-year-old from Shirley, was badly wounded but stood fast at his gun.
He died at his post, and was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross.

Well the obvious choice would be a RAF-Rescue launch, right?
BUT!
Why not the somewhat more rare ‘Cuckoo’-barge?

On this day in 1940, the Luftwaffe throws more than a thousand planes at London in a massive effort to finally take control of the skies above Southern England. The RAF withstands the onslaught. #BattleOfBritainDay
