SIHH2019: Silver Spitfire – The Longest Flight / by IWC Schaffhausen

In Summer 2019, with the support of IWC Schaffhausen, two British pilots are hoping to make aviation history with the first round-the-world flight in a Spitfire aircraft. In this session, hosted by James Holland, the two daring pilots, Steve Boultbee Brooks and Matt Jones, preview their “Silver Spitfire - Longest Flight” plans (flying 43,000 kilometres through 26 countries) and talk about the iconic aircraft (built in 1943 and carefully intensively restored) together with IWC Schaffhausen Creative Director, Christian Knoop.
