    BBC2 Sat Night

    7.25pm Ancestors

    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.

    Yeah - I had a bit of a lump in my throat when the village he was shot down in gave him a reception in the Town Hall.

    Hat, I didn't video it I'm afraid.

    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.

    When I was in ATC I went to RAF Leeming and they had a Spit there as the gate guard, I musta spent about 2 rolls of film taking shots of it...
