Crossing at Folkestone and Civilian Witnessing

✈️🕯️ In the summer of 1940, the fate of Britain — and much of Europe — was decided high above the clouds. Outnumbered pilots, early radar systems, and long, exhausting days turned the skies into a quiet but relentless battlefield. Victory did not come from conquest, but from endurance, coordination, and the refusal to fall.

Tonight, drift into the hum of aircraft engines, distant coastlines, and long twilight patrols — a moment when survival depended on calm under pressure and courage without applause.
