Does anyone remember what documentary concludes with the guy holding up the BF109's cannon round and comparing it to the Spitfires?

It was on during the BoB series late last year. Think it was either 'the gathering storm' or the 'south coast trail'. BBC history website should have them both somewhere although BBC 4 are repeating a fair few at the minute.

Great video on there of Douggie Bader and Paddy Barthrop in a bar discussing the BoB. Bader answers the question of 'what did you think of them as you dived in for attack' with beautiful aplomb!!!
