Meet the super recognisers
Police officers with the ability to remember the faces of almost everyone they have ever seen are helping to crack down on crime. Meet the "super-recognisers", whose unusual abilities are being deployed in a bid to keep the streets of London safe.
They are the people who quite literally never forget a face, in possession of an extraordinary ability to recognise men, women and children they barely know.
Constance Leathart - forgotten 'aviatrix'
Constance Leathart flew Spitfires in World War Two and was one of the first women with a pilot's licence - but her remarkable story has been largely forgotten.
