It's a Netflix video that goes through the process of building from old diagrams an original Mk I Spitfire and subsequent flight. Great video!

...It is a GREAT program!
Just watched his video of the period leading up to the last Vulcan flight. I wish I could have seen it fly!
Having met Guy at the IOM several years ago and catching up with him at subsequent visit to the 'Island' I can say that when it comes to Guy Martin what you see is what you get.
Top bloke, loves all old things mechanical, great rider, really fond of pretty women, evil sense of humour and has a personality that is hard to resist.
Last year he had a terrible TT and earned great respect by not riding in the Senior as he simply had not had track time on the new bike, that shows greater strength of character than just riding around on an unknown bike and getting in other riders way.
I'm saddened by his decision not to do the IOM again, but he has a lot of challenges lined up.
Aside from Superbikes, Guy also holds the World Land Speed Record for Bicycles, is an avid Mountain Bike racer, won Pikes Peak first time round.....................

He's a real hard case, is Guy. As Wombat says - what you see is what you get!
He did Pikes Peak on one of his own bikes a couple of years ago.
Great sense of humour and not easily offended.
The second year we were at the IOM I suggested he write his replies to our conversations on a piece of card and hold them up for us to read because his accent was so broad and he spoke at warp speed.
Ever since that day he's called me 'Subtitles'...........as in 'Good Morning Sofie, morning Subtitles'.

Just watched Guy Martin: Last Flight of the Vulcan...SUPERB! I always loved the Vulcan especially after seeing it in a James Bond film. From then on I was hooked. Iris Simulations made a very good representation of the Avro Vulcan.

by the way...should you buy the Vulcan from Iris it may be long in the tooth but believe me you will need the manual for start-up correctly.
