It was called The Spitfire Britains Flying Past, and it was quite good, some footage / photo's I hadn't seen before.

it was ok, although not really aimed at the hardcore warbird geeks :D

basically the story of MH434 (a famous IX) so they flew her to castle bromwich to see the factory and talk to some people that built spits, then interviews with the women ATA pilots who delivered spits to operational units, spit pilots, and a bunch of people related.
