The S Word…

Sorry, but I can’t pass by a Tweet, magazine, bookstore or DVD without stopping if it has the word “Spitfire” written on it… So when I caught this DVD release being dicussed on Twitter, I had to take a look. It’s an Australian production by indy film maker Simon Van Der Spoel and documents the sacrifice and experiences of Australian aircrew and groundcrew fighting with the Spitfire in World War Two.

It’s a new take on a familiar subject and looking at the trailer, there’s a great combination of archive footage and interviews of veterans, something I always find fascinating. Take a look at the the trailer below, then click through to the website where you can order a copy via PayPal.
