I think a lot of people would be very disappointed with flying the Fairey Battle. It is basically a bigger, slower Hurricane, with less bomb load, and two guns. It was not a fighter/bomber; it only had a single forward firing .303, and one in the tail, and its top speed was 250 mph. It looks cool, but you are a sitting duck.
If you really feel compelled to fly it, your best bet is to downloaded for MS Flight sim or X-Planes, and buzz around in it. It really is not a fun plane to fly more than once. The only value I could see for it would be as a nonflyable for the very early stages of the war.
The Sunderland would be a more fun plane to fly. It was highly successful as a sub-hunter, and had some wild, successful, dogfights with German heavy fighters, that could be made into showcase missions.
