It was late in the afternoon of Sunday, 18 August 1940. A gentle breeze floated over the RAF front line airfield at Hornchurch as exhausted young pilots of 54 Squadron enjoyed a rare opportunity to rest and reflect on their two encounters with the enemy earlier that day. The previous week had seen the hardest days of fighting in the Battle of Britain, and this Sunday had already proven the toughest of them all. The respite would be brief, for within moments the calm was shattered by the piercing howl of alarms. A massive raid of 300 Luftwaffe aircraft had been spotted as it swarmed across the channel, the destination: Hornchurch. With the Battle of Britain hanging in the balance, those tired, valiant few of the RAF scrambled to their fighters to meet the Luftwaffe in combat once again. Hornchurch Scramble, Robert Taylor's eagerly awaited follow up to Air Armada, portrays the moment as 54 Squadron's commanding officer, Squadron Leader James Leathart, taxis out at Hornchurch to prepare for take-off to meet the onslaught of JG51 and an imposing Luftwaffe assault. Quickly following, the aircraft of New Zealander Colin Gray is guided out from dispersal by his ground crew. Never framed, stored flat in a non-smoking, climate-controlled environment.
