The Plane That Saved Britain - Channel 4

It showed the 6 pounder rapid firing gun version, with the 57mm cannon shell it fired.

Stunning.

It also showed the last UK example crashing.

A somewhat unforgiving aircraft.

Pretty much - crashed in the Netherlands after a sortie.

His presence in the aircraft was only discovered when they found a third hand in the wreckage and his name-tag in a sock.

That aside the mossie was a fantastic aircraft.
