11:45 drunk off his own wallet

I remember that so well I'm glad I got to experience it

If you walk through there you risk getting stabbed and/or shot😮

You Never know what you might find in somebody's Garage Hoard 👍

That looks like some kind of camp.... Eastern Europe comes to mind or an army barracks .... everything in straight lines. No curves... no 'village' green centre with amenities... no playgrounds, swimming pools, shops, reliable buses, doctors surgeries, creches.. just blocks of housing..so spaced out that community must be difficult. It is filmed on a beautiful day in Summer and will never look better than that. I imagine you have to have a car to do anything.... and if you don't... what? Poor people living there. Nothing organic about it. I feel sorry for the people just dumped in a camp. I doubt any of the self satisfied 'planners' live there

Mega dystopia! such destruction of green fields and old villages .... such hatred for trees, for insects, for birds and small animals like water voles and anything organic and such love for concrete and more concrete and asphalt and cars and commercial 'premises' and shopping malls ( more and more redundant in the online shopping age) makes me weep. Prioritising cars on 50mph roads too... what short sighted American nonsense--- money in the pocket of Marples and the other corrupt politicians, sponsors of and builders of motorways to which the major roads crisscrossing the countryside would join... car first,then commerce, people after. Ecology NOT AT ALL Horrible!!! Llewellyn Davis and his mates should be ashamed of themselves .... with their lego brick games, and of course this hateful individual and his well paid mates had no interested in improving the housing in London or Tiger Bay which they wittered about as an excuse for making £££££ out of the destruction of farmlands. Much easier and more profitable to provide 'housing' by concreting woodland . ( even make extra ££££ by selling the wood) His view is ... dig up destroy move on, and abandon. "Low Density" the 'man' says, and seemed proud of it. The worst 'solution' everyone knows now. "City of trees"! What a joke ... cut to film of bulldozers and diggers with the caption and speech "pressure of housing" so... eliminate any trees. Liars anf hypocrites these people. Do any of them , or their descendants, live in 'the concrete sprawl' of MK, or rather in a remaining Buckinghamshire village ( if there is one) ?

I was profoundly, profoundly moved by this. I rang Neil Higson about 15 years ago, to talk about the Cathedral of Trees and the Buddhist Peace Pagoda, and he was so helpful, and kind. I'm very spiritual and the area around Willen Lake and the hospice is so loaded with love. The labryinth, the Buddhist peace pagoda (the first of its kind in the Western hemisphere), St. Mary Magdalene church and the Circle of Hearts Medicine Wheel, close to the pagoda. People of MK are so lucky. You are blessed by Neil's vision and the beauty he designed and it's so amazing he was granted carte blanche and sometimes the budget to realise his vision. Of course, the planners were old hippes, with Silbury and Avebury boulevards connecting up with their namesakes in Wiltshire. And the holy thorn trees at the tree cathedral linking up with the original thorn tree in Glastonbury, which reputedly grew after Joseph of Arimathea struck his staff into the ground, and it grew flowers, which only flower at Easter and Christmas. The Queen, and now King Charles, has a sprig of these flowers on their table on Christmas Day. So, MK people, you are blessed! I miss my visits to MK, as we moved to the south west almost 5 1/2 years ago.

Thank you.

Great story!

That was fun to watch!!

I was lucky enough to fly in TE308 last year at Kemble.

Is it a muggers paradise

I hope they give this man some kind of honour for his endeavours.

This bloke helped bring IRS to the mighty AU falcon..! What a legend

What a guy.

Well done Peter a fantastic story!!! And a fantastic person.

Good onya mate. It's blokes like you that make it possible for restorations of these warbirds to original condition possible.

Amazing , what a life he has led . If anyone ( probably quite a few ) has been to RAF Duxford you will know the sound of the Spitfire ,, theres just no sound like it ,, it always makes me hold my breath when they fly past.

When we could hear it flying what do you do?. Put fkn stupid music on 🙄 No need for any music. I come here for information. If I wanted to listen to music I'd go listen to some, of my choice

Brillint, what a guy. would love to see in real life.. i can only afford airfix models

peter, inspirational, living your dream. big heart

Fantastic, humble bloke.

what a thoroughly nice guy

I don't think the city's architects .were bold enough.Where are the energy saving, self sufficient homes.We are finding today homes are poorly insulated.Quick to fall into disrepair ,poorly maintained,damp, mould and subject to mice and insect infestation . Milton Keynes has cost billions and all that has been achieved is the creation of sink estates.Everything is temporary.Iconic buildings like the point are considered unfit and to be demolished.The original buckinghamshire countryside looked beautiful.I think money would have been better spent on improving existing towns and cities.

Amazing project

Who would’ve thought Saruman would be into Spitfires?

Well done Peter! Thank goodness we have enthusiasts like you!

Very cool. I moved here in 1981 and it was fascinating to look back and see the city as I remember it back then. Also to realise just how new the city actually was when I first lived here. And , yes… we always called it the city.. even back then !

Sad band beautiful song , Sang by one of the best performer Brad . rip man.

Thank you Peter You've definitly got the Right Stuff

The very same people with their big ideas, didn't realise what the consequences of their hubris would be. We have imported the world's problems with the false illusion that diversity is king! Take a look of what we've lost. British Pathè will show all!

When we first moved there, every main road was covered in clumps of mud the size of a breeze blocks. You had to drive slowly and always be ready to swerve to avoid them. I always wondered why the houses in the south were so much worse than the ones in the north...

A true ‘Wallace and Gromit’ type unsung hero!

What a great little film and a fascinating story of one man's Spitfire life!

Hi Peter I come across film with Sue interview n now watching this spitfire was awesome plane must be really awesome Too work on restoring them

Nice shot of AR213, my fav Spit. My father's, for a few flights anyways.

Awesome!

I worked for the DC from 1968 to 89. I was the 4th member of what was then the department❤ of Arcitecture and Planning Great days and a great programme!

What a Fantastic and interesting Story! Excellent 👌🏽

What a fantastic story and a great life achievement.

Just found your channel, absolutely fantastic, saw your 1st one back in 1973, you have changed a bit😂 I was 13yrs old then now 63yrs old, brilliant work my friend😊🇬🇧🇬🇧

Its amazing how history is intertwined. Like Mr. Arnold and Don Plumb with TR 9 Spitfire TE308. In the summer of 1974 I was rushing around to go to an airshow at Brampton Ontario. I received a phone call saying my ride to the airshow was here. I rushed to our airport and recognized he was not my ride but I remember him from a 'Sport Flying' magazine article. I had two qestions on my mind "Are you Mr. Don Plumb?" "Yes I am." Would you like to demonstrate your Spitfire at our airshow next June?" He studied our grass runway, handed me his card and said "Call me this winter". I have never been so thrilled in my life. Mr. Plumb was killed in his P-51 Mustang CF-USA that October in Texas. His card is a cherished momento and Spitfire CF-RAF eventually went back to the UK and was restored to high standards.

So who's going to help Peter before he passes away ? I'd imagine he'd love to see it complete, even in taxable condition.

Fabulous - a worthy Mr Spitfire indeed!!!

Great video and what an incredible life he has had!! Fantastic to see Peter reunited with TE308 ! I just I’d had time to talk with him at Biggin ! But unfortunately I was busy doing the tours !

Forget the plane im glad the man is still around after 50yrs..still has that wonderful smile!

My grandfather worked on the Seafires as he was based in Lee on Solent as a Aircraft fitter engineer for the Fleet Air arms from 1942 onwards

What a brilliant film & a great chap. I got goosebumps watching it. All the best

❤❤❤

Now that's cool.
