World War 1 Top gun

Just a nod towards this programme on Channel 5 Tuesday at 8pm.

Using Peter Jacksons workshop, craftsmen rebuild period aircraft then pilots re-enact dogfights showing the birth of aerial warfare.

They aren't rebuilds for the most part. They are modern but exact replicas using original engines.

They are truly gorgeous recreations.

Channel 4 did something similar a couple of years ago. "Fighting the Red Baron" or something like that.

Look at the quality of this.

[Simpo Two]

Wasn't it the gunner in one of those who wounded the Red Baron?
