Spitfire falls out of sky - WW2 Air Crash Investigators

On the 8th March 1942, a Spitfire came plummeting out of the low cloud and crashed into the Skirrid just north of Abergavenny in Wales, killing the pilot. A small plaque in a local pub commemorates this event, but what was the story, who was the pilot and why did he crash into this remote hillside? The Wingleader team went to the crash-site to find out.
