Spitfire N3200

Ta. At least I haven’t missed it then.

When exactly? 😀

End of summer 2014.

And dont ask ‘exactly when’ please.

Has anyone any idea when the Guy Martin Channel 4 programme about N3200 is to be shown?

Thanks for the update on this very informative

Talking of Spitfires at Dunkirk

Does anyone know if N3103 was ever recovered?

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I’ll try to answer Paul. AFAWK, both Sgt Buckland and George Gribble made wheels down landings and taxied to the dunes near {the maritime hospital at Zuydcoote} Sorry bad memory, that was Paddy Byrne of 74. Gribble and Buckland actually landed at Gravelines, not more than 1/2 mile east of P9374 in fact. Colin Gray overflew them and reported three pilots waving back (the ORB incorrectly states this was George Gribble) Gray then flew back that evening with messages but the A/C had both been burnt out. There was very little left of either, just wings and tail. There are a lot of photos of German soldiers climbing over both wrecks in the following months but what was left of both aircraft appears to have been salvaged during the war as they were above the tide line.

This may be of interest:

Oh….and spot the howler. Well, it was 1 April. 🙂

Will keep my eyes open for that.

A Channel 4 Special.

Thanks.

Yes, Mackerel – a film about its re-creation with some hands-on from Guy Martin who is presenting.

Until I see the rough cuts at end of April/May I am not sure to what extent there is reference to other partners like Airframe Assemblies or Retro-Track-And-Air, and I am bound by contract, anyway, not to divulge anything pre TX.

Should be intresting with Guy Martin presenting. Would like to think other partners would get a mention, but as yet no filming been done at AA.

Worth mentioning that a documentary film about the aircraft is in production with Guy Martin presenting. It will go to edit immediately after 17 April.

Is this a film about its restoration Andy ?

My beach holidays were drab in comparison!

It also shows a shot of N3200 being dug from the sand

No. That was P9374 David!

Ah…edit….OK….I see what you did there. Several posts down you’ll find N3200.

This thread is quite pertinent in showing the start ! http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?58968-Sptifire-recovered-from-Calais-under-rebuild-to-fly

Possibly available on DVD post-broadcast. Not aware of any book.

Will it be available on DVD also will there be a book on its own rebuild ?
