Dave, Terry, Thanks!

That must indeed be the one. On the Grace Spitfire website they also offer a DVD covering the TV show from the eighties......that would be the show I remember. And there is a wee-bit of the show on youtube showing the first engine starts of the spit after restoration.

thanks, Alex

p.s. Such a small world. I just realised that this particular Spitfire was one of the three seen in the "Top gear vs. The Germans" episode I just watched last week!
