Duxford Me109 - The Untold Story

Duxford’s original Battle of Britain Me109 has been impressing crowds for years, but few know its full story. After force landing in a field near Eastbourne in September 1940, this aircraft toured the United States before ending up in a bleak Canadian Scrapyard. It was saved in the nick of time from under several wrecked cars by a private British historian who then paid for it to return to the UK, where again it was ’lost’ for over 30 years. Our film tells the full story with previously unpublished photos and footage taken by the very people who saved this aircraft for the nation. - - - - - Music used: - - Consort for Brass - Classical Rousing by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
