The Reborn Spitfire (2x5)

Air date: Apr 04, 2024

Eighty years after it crashed in flames during the Battle of Britain, a rare Spitfire is reconstructed from a wreckage dug from the soil of the South Downs. The mission for modern engineers at the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar is to make P9372 fly again. In doing so, they honour the pilots of the RAF's most flamboyant fighter squadron whose social life was almost as legendary as their aerial exploits.
