Led by a cast of wonderful characters, this observational documentary series follows factory owner, Peter Monk, and his crew of engineers, pilots and historians as they restore rusty remains of the iconic Second World War flying machines. Over the course of a year, this six-part series discovers the surprising stories of this iconic flying machine, whilst following the restoration of a particularly special aircraft, the 1943 Mark IX Spitfire. With £2 million at stake there’s no room for error and the pressure is on to deliver on time. As Peter hunts down parts and oversees construction, a large cast of characters – from pilots and engineers to historians and WWII veterans – are on hand to explore the Spitfire’s rich history and uncover its surprising stories. This is the Spitfire Factory, a place dedicated entirely to resurrecting one of the most famous aeroplanes and returning it to the skies. Episode 1 - Birth of an Icon The Spitfire Factory’s engineers get to work on the Spitfire’s fuselage. As they rivet, bolt, and hammer the 60-year-old parts back into shape, Peter hits the road to track down key components he’ll need for the restoration. Pilot Anna Walker travels down to Southampton to discover how the Spitfire can trace its roots from racing seaplanes in the 1920s, and the Spitfire Factory receives a visit from a veteran who may have a very special connection to Peter’s prize project…

Episode 2 – Wings Over Normandy As the Spitfire Factory team gets its newly built fuselage off to the paint shop, we find out how wings can be either restored or built from scratch. Owner Peter Monk gears up for a family holiday like no other, as he and his boys travel in World War 2 jeeps to the beaches of Normandy to celebrate the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Spitfire Factory historian Robin organises a special veterans’ day at the hangar, and restoration guru Steve Vizard gets to work rebuilding a long-forgotten cousin of the Spitfire: the Hawker Typhoon.

Episode 3 – The Spitfire and the Hurricane Peter Monk and his Spitfire Factory team take on the biggest challenge of the entire Greek Spitfire restoration: attaching the wings. But the Spitfire wasn’t the only icon in the skies of World War II; it fought alongside the Hawker Hurricane, and in Essex a team of archaeologists have discovered one such aircraft buried in the ground.
