Storyline

A year with the men and the machines of the RAF's flying memorial to the aircrew who fought and died for their country in the Second World War. With onboard cameras; candid interviews and unprecented access; it's a unique record of a season with The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight as it celebrates its fiftieth birthday. There's a gruelling schedule of hundreds of flypasts and displays. They're all volunteers; though; and it's a job that gets under the skin of the select few chosen to fly some national treasures - the Spitfires; the Hurricanes and Europe's only airworthy Lancaster.Based in part on the 30 minute BBC Documentary THE FLIGHT with never before seen footage and extensive bonus features - including The Groundcrew; The Veterans; The Music of the Merlins & The Duxford Flypast.
