Bargain Hunt Takes Flight

It’s chocks away as Christina Trevanion pilots a special episode all about aviation. Among the historic aircraft of the Royal Airforce Museum London, Christina rounds up some deals that really took off at auction and others that had a bumpy ride.

In Ardingly, a former flying ace and his daughter plan to soar to victory when they go shopping with Nick Hall, while in Newark, university friends Joel and Oscar hope to land a good deal with a propeller made into a coat rack, until their expert Catherine Southon grounds the idea.

In Hendon, Christina learns about the history and heroism of the pilots who flew some of the 74 aircraft on display, and in Bristol, Eric Knowles reminisces about the glamour of supersonic travel from the luxurious interior of a surviving Concorde jet. Meanwhile, Natasha Raskin Sharp is flying high in a far older plane – a restored World War II Spitfire.
