Thanks

Not seen it before but if something is good and reposted again then I always forgive (aside from reposted jokes in JB ).

This is not new, having been filmed in 2005, but I hadn't seen it before so I thought it was worth sharing. The moment when the 83 year old sees himself aged 19 for the very first time is priceless. As a former navigator, the ability to go off alone in daylight in an unarmed and unescorted aircraft and find his target to photograph just leaves me lost in admiration.

That has been the best 14 and a half minutes I've spent in a long, long time. Like the OP, I am lost in admiration for someone with those skills; the icing on the cake was his approach to his task (half an hour in daylight over Berlin in a Spitfire because only one camera was working? just...wow). For him to then see the footage, and for the crew's respectful depiction of the occasion, was utterly brilliant. Thank you.

A search for "Spitfire 944" will bring up a number of past threads, it's certainly a great story that deserves repeating.
