Her words in regards to the event she allowed us to share:
"Thank you for organizing such a meaningful and well-executed Battle of Britain event for the cadets. It was not only educational but also truly engaging — it was clear how much thought and care had gone into the entire experience. It was just "BRILLIANT!"
The movie itself could have easily been “just another old film” we’re all made to watch, but you elevated it far beyond that. The way you made it interactive and framed it with insightful background information gave it real depth and relevance. It was wonderful to see the cadets so attentive and involved.
The historian’s introduction was a standout. Providing the historical context leading up to the Battle of Britain, and even detailing the real-life individuals portrayed in the film, brought a level of understanding and emotional connection that made the entire event unforgettable. The choice of venue was brilliant, too! It felt like I was back in university listening to my favorite professor. I am sure the cadets felt something special too. "
