No sure if this has been posted before, it was shown at the sundance film festival, highlights showing a (now old ) pilot, decades after the war, film of his forced landing that he has never seen. Some moving split screen shots as he remembers the event .

Very cool.

Interestingly, he says that he flew that Spitfire again after they just replaced the (wooden) prop blades....no engine tear-down..
