Apologies for the intrusion Sternjaeger II but i'm not certain that is correct.
I remember the programme very well It's 'Spitfire' part of the UK Channel 4 Equinox series (I had it on video up until a couple of years back). The 109 is a G2 which became well known as 'Black 6' it was captured in North Africa in 1942.

The pilot is Paul Day who was OC of the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight:

Probably not a 'tool'
