Led by a cast of wonderful characters, this observational documentary series follows factory owner, Peter Monk, and his crew of engineers, pilots and historians as they restore rusty remains of the iconic Second World War flying machines. Over the course of a year, this six-part series discovers the surprising stories of this iconic flying machine, whilst following the restoration of a particularly special aircraft, the 1943 Mark IX Spitfire. Episode 6 - Spitfire Reborn. After two years' hard work, the Greek Spitfire is nearly complete. But will she fly? All hands are on deck to get the project finished on time, with the owners due to pay a visit and veteran George Dunn hoping to see his Spitfire fly again. With so much time and money spent getting it to this point, emotions run high as they prepare for the maiden flight. Meanwhile the boss's eldest son Alex gets a flying lesson in one of the aircraft that young recruits his age were trained in during the war. And Peter prepares for his next project, as a new two-seater arrives from America.
