I remember watching this episode together with my father. At the moment that the test flights were up, we were certain that the American and the French team would take off and fly. And we where a bit surprised when they 'didn't'. But when the British team were up, we were like: "Yeah, sure. If those two replica's can't fly, this British monstrosity certainly won't".... Imagine the look on our faces when it took off....

So the English flew the first time. Fixed the Americans engine and fixed the French propellor, making it possible for them to fly. Looks like the English won this one

The American plane looks too big,heavy and complicated for its own good.,French one is a try at a bleriot,,British planes simple and ugly but works (if it had the fuel,probably fly the channel)

Britain isn't doing shit right now except trying to scrounge up enough lorry drivers to deliver goods to empty shelves and having to create a whole new trade bureaucracy now they're no longer part of the Single Market. They dropped themselves right into the toilet. As for turning their backs on the USA, they wouldn't even get the kiddie table at the G7 if they were stupid enough to do that, and Britain's been America's bitch since 1945.

The British team had no choice but to go with a biplane design. It was the only way to generate enough lift to compensate for the weight of the pilot's balls.

Wonderful! I don’t mind admitting I thought the French would win but the Brits not only did a great job on their own plane, they also fixed the Americans engine and the French propeller. The French exchanged their propeller with the British and the Americans welded the French frame. All in all a spirit of comradeship and cooperation that was a joy to watch.

Yes, their bias ruined things a bit. However, the proof of the pudding was in the eating. To one who is not British, French or American, that British plane cobbled together from junk was a marvel, and its pilot was both brave and capable. Bravo!
