GUY MARTINS SPITFIRE
Just been repeated tonight and I managed to watch it this time,
and just read through the posts here. I know of Guy from following bike racing and have watched his TV programmes, which I think have been interesting. He is a genuine engineer who works on comercial vehicle engines as his prime ocupation, and does his own mechanicing on his race bikes. I think Fred Dibnah would have got on great with him, they both share the same idea about British industrial engineering heritage, and didn't speak the Queens english either! I don't think Raymond Baxter would be the man to present this programme nowadays, however much I greatly respected him
.
Throwing a spanner in, did they use auto wire locking pliers in 1940 or do it by hand as I was taught in 1968, if not they were'nt being true to the plot!
Great programme, and good to see Geoffrey Wellum after reading his excellent book.
