T_O_A_D Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Published on May 21, 2013 In 2005, an 83 year-old World War II pilot is surprised to see 16mm footage of his 1944 Spitfire crash for the first time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ie3SrjLlcUY#! Narrator has a bit annoying voice, but what their doing is awsome their idea and plan is sound! Love it. One of those Spitfires is at the Dayton Airforce museum. I got a picture of it somewhere. SPITFIRE 944 is available on iTUNES here:https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/spi...See more Sundance curated short films at http://www.youtube.com/screeningroom Quote

DD_Bongodriver Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 I absolutely loved that video, the recall that man had and how he recognised instantly the footage.....from over 60 years ago, thanks TOAD great post. Quote
