Spitfire Restoration - Warbird Workshop - S01 E01 - History Documentary

[@tomeickhorst6787]

Just found this channel. Thank you for keeping history alive. THOSE WHO DO NOT STUDY HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT

[@artmichel5572]

Gents, how I love this channel and the detail and heartfelt commentary that goes into your episodes. Thank you for your professionalism. As a retired USN aviation senior chief, my career was spent on aircraft carriers and as such, I have a very deep love and admiration for aviation. The design(s), the maintenance men (and women), the aviators and the many unsung heros who are a big part of what we do/did. A very respectful salute to the gentleman pilot who I'm sure, proudly served Great Britain's Air Force. I look forward to much more from you.

As a child i got to sit in the first two seater ever built, MT818 was actually a Mk.VIII, the rest of them being Mk.IX's. Sadly l couldn't gat a ride, the owner at the time wouldn't go for for it due to safety concerns. Was a joy to see it fly though.

[@robertbowers9856]

Sad the pilot passed before he saw his plane fly again, but he did see her again and new she lived!

[@Iclo420]

This plane was flying 3 years before this restoration. He saw her flying in differents occasions.

[@robertbowers9856]

That makes me feel better.@@Iclo420

Great vid!

[@skyhigh1154]

Its now owned by a Dutch businessman who had his house raided a couple of times by the tax officers for not being really honest about his cashflow. Thats how you can afford a Spitfire I guess.

[@SimonElenor]

I guess these documentaries keep forgetting about the Hurricane! Came out way before the Spit and had way more kills than the spit in the Battle of Britain.

[@alexandermenzies9954]

Perhaps your attention span is variable as this doco certainly included the Hurricane. Since it was about a specific Spitfire it's not surprising the Hurricane was not the centre of attention.

[@SimonElenor]

@@alexandermenzies9954 It was a generic comment! Alot more attention is given to the Spit when the Hurricane did most of the work.

[@alexandermenzies9954]

Fully aware of the relative numbers, Simon, so I'm still surprised you say "most of the work". @@SimonElenor

[@donaldturner5124]

Did ye say 5000 pounds for a ride in the craft?

[@edwardng1496]

Over 7 thousand pound! And I am privileged to be able to ride in this on June1, 2025. Looking forward to seeing you all that Sunday morning.

[@michaelnaisbitt7926]

Since when did a rwo seat training aircraft fly in 5he battle of Britain traning aircraft were sold to Ireland and Israel

[@robertbowers9856]

They said, the added seat was the only part not original to the Spit.
