I’ve just visited Bentley Priory to see their Battle of
Britain commemorative lace panel and discuss plans for exhibiting my
contemporary response there. It’s so nice to see the panel so beautifully
displayed and on permanent exhibition in the hall at the Museum – the image
shows a detail from it. Bentley Priory was the headquarters of RAF Fighter
Command during the Battle of Britain and it was from here all the operations
were coordinated, in fact the museum includes a recreation of the Filter room where
all the radar information was processed, which gives a good idea of how skilled
the work was. It’s a very friendly museum with an important story to tell and
I’m looking forward to working with them on my Battle of Britain project.
