Tony Pollard and Neil Oliver bring to life something of the atmosphere and daily bustle of an airbase at the height of the Battle of Britain as they uncover long-lost Tet turrets, dig up forgotten anti-aircraft settings and reveal the shape of an E pen, which would have housed Spitfires. They speak to people who worked at the airbase during World War II, sit in a Spitfire that actually flew from Hornchurch and try on pilots' uniforms as a military historian talks them through what an encounter with a Messerschmitt 109 would have been like.
