That's probably the most common question fielded by Dave from the Solent Sky Air Museum. A reasonable inquiry, considering he manned the full-size, flight-ready replica of a WWII Spitfire fighter plane, which happened to be parked in the middle of the exhibit hall at the recent Who Do You Think You Are? Live! and National History Show in London.
Join us as Dick Eastman gets you up close and personal with the aircraft that defended Britain during the War. And if you want to hear from a real-life Spitfire pilot, you'll want to revisit John Weir's interview for the Testaments of Honour project. Mr. Weir was not only a Spitfire pilot during WWII, but after he was shot down over enemy territory, and subsequently imprisoned at Stalag Luft III, he became a key planner in The Great Escape.
