Some 70 years after Winston Churchill paid tribute to ‘the few’, an intellectual property lawyer was among those who took to the skies to commemorate the Battle of Britain this month. Alongside Bruce Dickinson (pictured, second right), frontman of legendary heavy metal outfit Iron Maiden, Ilya Kazi (right), partner at intellectual property firm Mathys & Squire, led a formation of Spitfires and Hurricanes over the east of England to mark the occasion. The London patent specialist flew in a (rather newer) Piper Aztec plane, co-owned by him and sponsored by the firm, which promotes the charity Flying Scholarships for the Disabled (FSD). Nathan Doidge (front), who has cerebral palsy and was recently awarded a scholarship by FSD to learn to fly, accompanied Kazi and Dickinson on the flight.
