Here at the RAF Benevolent Fund (RAFBF) we are holding a poll to find the most iconic RAF figure of World War Two. To vote please visit:

90 faces of the RAF Benevolent Fund (http://www.rafbf90.org.uk)

The poll is featured on our special 90th anniversary website, “90 Faces of the RAFBF”, which features 90 stories about our history, fundraisers and supporters.
If you visit you can listen to Winston Churchill's famous 1951 radio appeal on behalf of the RAFBF, watch videos of beneficiaries and serving RAF personnel describe how we help, and learn about the enormous support we enjoy among the RAF family.

I went for Bader, but Downing is the other person I thought of, followed by Parks.

Winston Churchill may be an honorary Air Commodore, but when I think Winston Churchill, I think "Prime Minister" or "1st Lord of the Admiralty", not RAF.

I voted for Bomber Harris.

Controversial maybe these days (or has that changed again?)
