"While overseeing the operations at RAF Uxbridge, Air Vice Marshall Park stayed in a house opposite the entrance to the bunker. He used a small door to reach the bunker from the house each day. The house, named after the war in Park's honour, was demolished in 1996 to make way for newly constructed married quarters; only the garden wall and door were retained.[30] Wing Commander Willoughby de Broke received the Air Force Cross on 11 July 1940 for his service as a Senior Operations Officer for No. 11 Group, working within the Operations Room.[31] Prime Minister Winston Churchill visited the station on 16 August 1940, to monitor the battle from the Operations Room. He subsequently made his well-known comment, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few" to General Ismay as they got into their car to leave.[32] Churchill repeated the quote in a speech to Parliament four days later.[33] King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited the station on 6 September. Churchill was again present at RAF Uxbridge on the fiercest day of fighting of the entire battle: Battle of Britain Day, 15 September 1940. As the last squadrons were sent into battle, Churchill asked Air Vice Marshal Sir Keith Park, "How many reserves have we?" Park answered "There are none".[32]"

In I think Al deeres book , he states , on ' who won the Battle of Britian ' , " I dont know if he won it , but he was the only man who could have lost it in one hour " .



 " Following service at Gallipoli, New Zealander Park joined the RFC. Park was unique in that his entire service in the RFC/RAF was spent with No.48 Sqn. He joined as a lowly Lieutenant and rose to become its commanding officer in April 1918. He also was their top-scoring pilot with 20 victories, two of which were in A7227 during September 1917. In WW2 he was AOC No.11 Group during the Battle of Britain.
