This episode takes us closer to the final deadline for the Spitfire's completion date, however there's something missing... the engine! Peter sets off to Gloucestershire, where the newly restored Merlin is about to be put through its paces.. but will it be up to Peter's perfectionist standards? We also learn about a truly remarkable woman who saved the Spitfire from having engine problems during the war by inventing a solution the size of a thumb nail!
Hidden away in a little-known workshop at one of Britain's most important wartime airbases, a team of dedicated engineers and enthusiasts are working round the clock to bring a national icon back to life. Over the course of a year and £2 million at stake, there's no room for error as Peter Monk and his engineers try to turn a 1943 Mark IX Spitfire from rusty remains into the flying legend. This is the Spitfire Factory.
