Spitfire war footage

Guys go to this web site WWII pilot gets shown footage of his 1944 Spitfire crash that he's never seen until now. [VIDEO] & watch/listen to the 14 mins or so of rare footage, will bring a tear to yr eye.

After watching this pretty much anything that's going on in yr life is trivial!
I feel humble & insignificant in some ways:-(

Anything for you 'Griffo'

It's the little individual things from days gone by such as what went on behind the scenes of war that makes us all so humble.

Thanks Wally!

Brought a lump to my throat, bringing back memories of my chats with my late uncle who was W/C 460 Squadron flying Lancasters over Europe.

Hats off to them, ballsy!

Am glad you guys are enjoying the little clip.

I thought that Prrune is full of angry people & a little reminder of how grateful we all should be from the many that risked their lives beyond belief in all wars, this was just one tiny snippet of what really went on.
