The final programme in the series sees our newly built plane go through the final checks it needs for it's certificate of air-worthiness, will it pass and can Mark finally realise his dream to fly his very own aeroplane?
A Red letter day as Mark prepares for his PPL Test at Aeros, and we recap his flying lessons from throughout the series; meanwhile, his aeroplane is transformed with a coat of paint and Mark applies the decals to make it unique. Finally it is the turn of Tony Palmer to show us his own pride and joy - his Avid Speedwing.
A Plane is Born, presented by Mark Evans, is a 15 part series for Discovery Home and Leisure, in which he not only learns to fly but also builds his own two-seater aeroplane. During the course of the series, he tackles everything from the composite control surfaces to the installation of the engine. The series takes the viewer for the first time through the step-by-step process of building a 200 mph kit aircraft, capable of flying from England to the South of France on a single tank of fuel.
