T_O_A_D Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted May 25, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 That narrator sure has an irritating voice... Very nice to watch otherwise though.... Recon Pilot: "(...) that was the sweetest thing. Any pilot should fly a Spitfire at least once (...)" Thanks for posting that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted May 30, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 As said, awesome. The look on his face when he realised it was his landing, and the humility when he asked if he could get a copy for his kids. Such bravery those guys had.
