Check out our show Real Fake History's episode on the Battle Of Britain! The Last Of The Few takes a detailed look at the Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight as it prepares for its 50th year of display & commemorative flying with a thrilling display at the Biggin Hill International Air Show in 2007. As Spitfires and Hurricanes undergo servicing and maintenance, the Avro Lancaster heavy bomber of the Flight is stripped back to its skin for a major overhaul. We follow the work involved as these aircraft are reinstated in the markings and colour schemes of machines flown by courageous and outstanding aircrew of World War II. Exclusive interviews with personnel of the Memorial Flight reveal the passion and enthusiasm that lies behind the expertise of those who maintain and fly these magnificent aircraft. Pilots who have previously flown the latest jet fighters describe the excitement and techniques of flying these classic warplanes, especially the huge Lancaster bomber. And in stark contrast, interviews with veteran aircrew of Fighter and Bomber Command, provide a chilling reminder of the reality of operational flying in hostile skies. Dramatic archive footage from WWII illustrates differences and similarities with the flight of today, while new material, shot with the full cooperation of the Memorial Flight, on the ground and in the air, allows us to participate in the Flights preparations for the display at Biggin Hill and the display itself

People gave their lives so their families in the future would be free For the Queen to take their guns and other freedoms is a disgrace The US is doing the same thing The Patriot act came from the biggest lie ever and they will take our guns with another big lie People are so blind they will just hand their guns right over disrespecting all the people that died and took a big chance of dying fighting against these very things

Ive always wanted to fly a ww2 era fighter. Ive often wondered if I could build one but after watching this maybe not. If a pilot was thousands of hours has to train again then someone with no experience probably couldnt.

The most feared plane over Germany was the landcaster, it carried the famous Earthquake and tallboy bombs, they destroyed the massive battleship tirpitz they were quite some aircraft.

It was my honor to shake the hand of Col. Handley RCAF one of the few. On his mantle in his home in Brunswick Me sat 5 propeller tips mounted from the planes he crash landed 1939-1945

You all probably know this put many times you can rebuild fuel pumps, starters and other engine parts from 2 or 3 other models most of the time manufactures reused internal parts.

I remember actually sitting in and old spitfire at the oxford museum in England, it's great to have touched a part of history, I wandered who flew it during the battle of Britain

This Documentary was made while some of the WW 2 Veterans were still alive for interviews and personal testimonies, adds depth and authenticity to this informative production.

When people tell me how beautiful the polished engine cases are, on my 650 Bonneville,
I tell them They are made from the same alloy as a Spitfire.

To think this sort of patriotism is frowned upon nowadays. Young miseducated people are ruining what had been achieved through so much sacrifice.
reply

even though Britain won the war, she lost the most and gained the least. England made its final war debt payments in 2006.
reply

Why do they always have a Lancaster as part of the Battle of Britain imagery? They have nothing to do with it. Read a book!
reply

Don't say British pilots say Allied pilots. Don't say remember, say commemorate. Small things mean a big difference.
reply

I salute you, gentlemen. I pray for those who fell. I wish you who are still active a good return home.
reply

So you spell heroes wrong and have pictures of Lancaster bombers which werent even developed in 1940. Classy.
reply

Berlin alone had 150 thousand anti aircraft guns, it's amazing that anyone came back from a bombing raid.
