  When I was at school in the 60s, we had an art master who had been a spitfire pilot. He told us that during a dog fight it was essential to be able to turn tighter than their opponent. While the spitfire could tun very tightly, the pilot could not without passing out as they did not have the pressure suits that modern pilots have. He said that as he tightened the turn a black veil would come down over his eyes and he could control the turn without passing out by keeping the veil at bay. He was quite a good art teacher too.

  I’m American and Guy Martin is absolutely one of my heroes. Such a decent, honest and talented dude. I briefly met him enough to shake hands on a racer meet day when he came here to Colorado to race up Pikes Peak. I only wish for him that he could have won a senior race at Isle of Man. I know he wanted it badly. But he’s led a pretty darn good life and this is one of his greatest achievements putting this beauty back in the sky.

  I have the utmost respect for the men who flew this aircraft and the people who built it. What a fantastic video.

  Can you imagine the  youth of today workingv7 days a week 1 week off a year, we will never truly understand  what sacrifice was made so we can be here today. It wasnt just the men fighting who are heros but the men and women home here doing all they can to help. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart

  People say this made me tear up a little. I can’t confirm or deny that. This was an amazing program

  I&apos;m going to fly a MK9 two seater Spit this month, it&apos;s still not sunk in yet. Usual quality stuff from Guy Martin, apart from him being a proper mechanic ( which I respect more than many things he&apos;s done - amazing as they are ) much of the respect I&apos;ve got for him is the way he listens and lets other people talk and values the stories they tell.

  Guy Martin is one of those men that noone can dislike. &nbsp;He is passionate about machines and he is so affable that you just want to sit down with him at a pub and have a pint and listen to him recount stories about racing, wrenching or talking about history. &nbsp;You don&apos;t need to know that he is a legend in racing or the fact that he comes from a family of racers to want to hang out with him. &nbsp;His personality does that on its own. &nbsp;When it comes right down to it, he&apos;s a fan just like we are and that isn&apos;t something you often see in a man who has lived the life that he has. &nbsp;Happy to have stumbled onto this channel.
