If you like aeroplanes you might like this. Its is running on sky PBS at the moment but can also be found on youtube.
Basically a bunch of chaps decided to go and recover a crash landed B29, that ditched after WW2 in a remote location. ... They intend to fly it back of course!!!!

I think I saw this years ago, it has a twist at the end, which I didn't see coming.

Good programme, sad to see all that hard work just go up in flames. Very sad, as well as for the poor guy who died.

I was nearly in tears never mind the chaps who put in the graft. Some very dedicated and talented people. And i can help thinking that they had some huge gonads to then want to fly the thing out of there
