Another fascinating little nugget of history for you WWII fans out there.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

I'm looking forward to seeing this on BBC.

Is it customary for BBC to announce a documentary in this manner?

I just bought a new 3D TV and some (expensive) 3D glasses. Who wants to go dictator hunting with me? Cool

Very well made. Another lost gem in the history of the war.

BTW, when are they going to start rebuilding France? 60 year old war relics are all over the place. I think most of the Maginot Line is still in place.

Back at ya.

Revealed: How Area 51 Hid Secret Craft

I've just got a new book on Area 51 from a friend, starting on that tonight. It is all about the military aircraft rather than aliens. Quite looking forward to it Cool
