Battle of Britain Grace
Gentlemen,
Would any of you be able to recommend a suitable grace for a Battle of Britain DiN? I am at an austere location with no access to a Padre. I have listened to many in my time but cannot fully recall any of them.
Yours Aye,
RB

The best grace I ever heard at a dining-in was:
"Lord, let us not be like porridge - stiff, stodgy and difficult to stir. But like Corn Flakes - crisp, fresh and ready to serve."

Heavenly Father
As we gather on this anniversary,
to mark the extraordinary service of our forebears,
and to perpetuate our gratitude for their sacrifice;
so also do we give you thanks for all things,
and pray that you abide with us,
and all who serve in defending our nation.
Bless this meal, and our assembly,
through Christ our Lord.
Amen

You can use this if it helps.
The BofB Few
Heavenly Father, who cares for our lost comrades, who gives us this day to tell them how much they are missed, who must say a last farewell before we get too pissed. Who when we hear our passed steeds, flying overhead, we also remember the price they paid in many magnificent deeds.
We give thanks to those who died, those gallant few, and remember that when we join those wonderful few, we will shake a hand or two and simply ask ‘hello old chap what’s new?’

When people think of the BoB, they usually think Spitfire. When aviation people think Spitfire, they often think Grace;
Sorry, couldn't resist it. A Church Parader by tradition and not belief isn't much use on these occasions.

Dining-in Night, Shawbury, back end of the eighties:
Jesus Christ, oh Lord Divine who turned the water into wine, please forgive us mortal men; we're about to turn it back again.
To my recollection, thank you Renrut.

Not a BoB one, but this is the one that the SAAFA uses:
AIRMAN’S GRACE
Lord of thunderhead and sky,
Who placed in man the will to fly
You taught his hand speed, skill and grace
To soar beyond man’s dwelling place.
You share with him the eagle’s view
The right to fly as eagles do
The right to call the clouds his home
And grateful through Your heavens roam
May we assembled in thy sight
And all who love the thrill of flight
Recall with two-fold gratitude
Your gift of wings…..your gift of food.
