"The Hurricane That Saved London"

(From the show page)
Only one fighter plane ever crashed in the streets of London during WWII,
and the story of the crash is the stuff of novels. We join a team of
excavators, at a busy intersection just blocks from Buckingham Palace,
that
is about to uncover what remains of it. We also get the firsthand account
of
the crash from the doomed plane's pilot Ray Holmes, who is still alive to
tell his story. While defending London from Nazi attacks, Holmes rammed
his
fighter plane into a German bomber in a desperate attempt to deflect the
bomber from its target--Buckingham Palace. It worked, but not before
Holmes
lost control of his own plane and was forced to eject.


Hurricanes had ejection seats? I learn something new here every day. G

Yes, it had one of those newfangled Beatfeet Industries ejection seat, whose
single electrical component was a lightbulb on the instrument panel above a
placard that read "And now for something completely different!"
