Sky History

On the 140th anniversary of the Cutty Sark’s maiden voyage, and for the first time on television, Ben Fogle presents the full story of this world-famous ship and the dramatic bid to save her. Many believed the infamous fire of May 2007 spelled doom for the Cutty Sark, but using exclusive access, this programme explains the true context and consequence of that disaster. The History Channel tells the dramatic story of her working life - a tale that includes record-breaking voyages to the far side of the world, mutinies, suicide, and murder.

Over the decades, Britain has been involved with the design and development of iconic aircrafts such as the Hawker Hurricane, the Supermarine Spitfire, the Concorde, and more recently the Airbus A380.
