- Synopsis:
This one hour documentary, narrated by Robert Llewellyn, follows a fourteen-year personal journey of determination and skill rebuilding history, beginning with the discovery of various aviation artefacts belonging to Captain F. D. H. Bremner, a World War One pilot. Chanced upon by his grandsons, the find leads them to undertake a rebuild of the Bristol Scout aircraft flown by their grandfather during the Great War. The programme follows David and Rick Bremner along with their friend, Theo Willford in their ambitious task of building the aircraft, one of the first single seat fighter fighters, to its original specifications, searching out the original plans and parts list, using former techniques and construction skills, learning, as they do so, the trials, tribulations and triumphs that faced those early pioneers of flight and aerial warfare. It is a truly remarkable story of risk, uncertainty, improvisation and achievement as the trio overcome each and every obstacle in their endeavour to discover, re-live and rebuild history. - Actors:
