Just finished watching this now. It was good to see them trash the Shitfire at the start
On a more serious note...
For 60 mins i felt proud to be British, listening to the new yank owner sing its praises and say how beautiful it was etc. I looked good seeing her come out of that steel container and get reassembled again before taking flight.
A national icon of Great Britain.
One small concern......
The test pilot said it flew well but the ailerons needed slightly adjusting, to which the new owner/pilot replied.....
Ailerons? are those the flappy things on the wing?
Hahaha.
