Following the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, historian and Royal British Legion member John Duffell is speaking out about local stories of the decisive battle.
With North Weald airfield operating as an RAF base, a number of young men from Epping Forest fought and died in the battle.
Now, the Royal British Legion has a new exhibition to tell some of those stories.
