Summary In the 2nd of a 4-part special series, 'Covid-19' is causing disruption to peoples lives including Guy Martin's, who now has some extra time on his hands. With that in mind, Guy takes a well-earned rest in his shed with a cuppa, a good selection of his DVD's and looks back at some of his proudest high-speed achievements. The 4 tributes to the War Machines are: restoration of WW2 'Spitfire' fighter plane, reconstruction of a WW1 tank, servicing a cold-war era 'Vulcan Bomber' for its final ever flight. For his final challenge, Guy recreated WW2 paratrooper training for the 'D-Day' invasion, which ended with a parachute jump over Normandy in France, from a period 'Dakota' aircraft.
