    Spitfire Documentary

    Hi Guys, just watched this excellent documentary on the history of the Spitfire. It's about an hour and thirty minutes long with comments made by many of the WWII pilots who flew them, that were still alive at the time of it's filming. Definitely worth the time to watch, if you have it.



    This documentary was released in Nov. 2022

    Enjoy

    I am pretty sure the link was to a channel that had illegally uploaded the entire film.
    It has been on the BBC and is for sale too.
    It's a great documentary and well worth a watch.

    Re: Spitfire Documentary

    This film had an initial cinema 1 day showing around the UK. I was in London visiting Hendon, Uxbridge etc so I booked seats at a lovely old art deco cinema in Notting Hill. We walked through London that day to the BoB and Bomber Command monuments etc ending up at the cinema. It was fab to see/hear the film in that setting. Quite moving too that within weeks around the films' release all veterans featured had passed. Geoffrey Wellum had such an emotive way of talking. Loved his book and subsequent BBC film.
    Great film this.

    Hi Colander

    I've looked around and explored the various ways and possibilities that I could assist in getting you access to this documentary, but in the end, it might just be simpler for you to move to Canada
