Released today on Itunes. Can’t wait to see it.
Fitting that Tom Neil and Geoffrey Wellum feature in it and we have another record of their recollections before they sadly both passed away this last week.

Re: Stirring Salute to the Spitfire
That's excellent news on the iTunes and Blu-ray releases, thanks.
And, yes, RIP for Geoffrey Wellum, among the finest of The Few. The 'First Light' movie on his RAF career is superb -- the opening encounter with a Ju88 in clouds gets you right in the gut ...

And Mary Ellis, one of the Air Transport Auxiliary pilots, the "Spitfire Girls" who were featured in the film. She passed away soon after the release of the film, as well.Dreamsofwings wrote:Released today on Itunes. Can’t wait to see it.
