Fiona Bruce presents a special episode of Antiques Roadshow commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and the Blitz. Combining stories from all over the country with a special event filmed at Biggin Hill airfield, the programme tells the story of a defining moment in Britain鈥檚 war through the people and objects who were there.

Fiona begins the programme onboard an iconic Supermarine Spitfire, flying over the Weald of Kent. Then, she and the team uncover the stories behind family mementos, including a scramble bell that got pilots into the air, ops room models that tracked their every move, and a steering column from a British fighter shot down in combat. We also hear first-hand from the pilot of that downed plane, pilot officer John Hemingway - one of the last remaining pilots with combat experience from the Battle of Britain.
