This has probably been posted before but it is well worth a watch, an American Spitfire crash lands at Mount Farm and it is captured on film. Recently a search was made for the pilot and he is shown the film, he still has a piece of the wooden prop………….Martin

Maybe the post above needs making into a sticky to highlight the point of a search before you post….

Yes brilliant story First class Video. Very well researched and produced, watched it many times. It has been on here a few times but its a good idea to mention it again for the benefit of new members and anyone that’s missed it.

I’m sure there was a thread on this a few months ago but none the worse for seeing it again. It’s a great story.
