After decades of hunting parts and drawings, one family pushes the world’s only Fokker D-21 toward the sky. From a stethoscope diagnosis on a stubborn cylinder to the moment the Wright Cyclone finally thunders into sync, Warplane Workshop tracks the Van Eggmans’ meticulous rebuild and the nerve-wracking first test flight with veteran pilot Dan Griffith. See how a wing-attachment mystery was solved using relics from a 1940 crash, why a variable-pitch prop can make or break the engine, and what rare color footage from RAF 322 Squadron reveals about the Dutch few who escaped to fight on. With today’s F-35 crews cheering them on, the family chases certification, airshow deadlines, and a promise made generations ago. What did the stall tests uncover? How close did the D-21 come to disaster on taxi runs? And why does this one-off machine matter so much to Dutch aviation history?"

A new one on Victor One: Nothing much new here, and brevity seems to be the main aim of this series. It would have helped if they'd made, and included here, a real-time video of what the complete route looks like northbound and southbound, along with typical calls along the way. As it is, luckily there are some V1 vids on YT including one from our own Scott Hendry's "Flying Around" series of trip-vids.

This new episode takes us across to Tassie.

Another cautionary tale?
