The story of No 1 Squadron. A Hurri squad who flew in France during 1940. Anyone who has read 'Fighter Pilot - A personal record of the campaign in France' might want to watch this.  'Make mine a Spitfire, Landlord!' Last edited by MA_Moby; 22-02-2004 at 08:47 AM.. |

And tbh the spitfire aint that small a plane. Glasgow transport museum has one thats been renovated at a cost of around 250k. It was in the glasgow squadron and it looks mint. Next time I'm over I'll take some photos and put them up. Just wish they'd let me sit in it. But I did get close enough to touch it.
