Known to many as “the man with a Spitfire in his garden,” former GP Hamish MacLeod is the leading light behind the annual Dowding Commemoration which takes place in Moffat on Sunday.
The event remembers the vital part the “Architect of Deliverance”, Air Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding, played 79 years ago in thwarting Hitler’s invasion plans during World War Two.
Although outnumbered by the Luftwaffe, 3,000 pilots fought and won for Britain.
