The peace and tranquillity of life on the canals is briefly shattered as RAF Spitfires roar low overhead. This is no ordinary flight of Spitfires: led by the legendary Douglas Bader, these are aircraft of the Tangmere Wing, returning after being scrambled to intercept a Luftwaffe raid during 1941. Bader is flying a rare Mk V aircraft: the same basically as the Mk Vbs of the rest of the squadron but fitted with eight machine guns, which he preferred to the machine gun and cannons combination of the Vb.
