I have been watching “Foyle’s War” on Netflix, from Masterpiece Theater. The first few episodes feature some great scenes of flying Spits. It has been wonderful series, BTW. Why is it that Brit tv can produce such great programs, and all we get are more “reality” shows??

Here is an excellent one by the BBC

Totally different plane but worth watching.

Great series! Captures the era quite well.

I love Foyle and the looks on his face. His female redhead driver is as cute as a button!

There was a British miniseries “Piece of Cake” from 1988, about a Spitfire squadron based in France before the Fall. The Brits didn’t really base any Spits in France then but there was a lot of good flying.

They've got their share of reality programs too, but fortunately I've been able to watch quite a few of their dramas, mysteries, etc. through torrent sites. I don't think anyone does mysteries or historical documentaries like the Brits. Thank God for the internet.
