Some customers bring in a fascinating find from the beaches of Normandy – what looks like the exhaust from a Spitfire. Steve does some digging and uncovers an extraordinary tale that could link this chunk of metal to a wartime hero. Steve and Marie take a trip to Oxford University to delve into the story behind a beautiful childhood memento from one of Britain's most celebrated war heroes. Captain Noel Chavasse is one of only three people to be awarded a Victoria Cross twice. But long before he was a soldier, he and his twin brother created a beautiful scrapbook revealing their teenage thoughts and ambitions. And an eagerly anticipated parcel arrives at the shop, with a medal that's connected to the Russian revolution.
