A World War Two Luftwaffe pilot has become one of the first Germans to fly a Spitfire. Hugo Broch, who's credited with 81 victories in more than 300 missions, went up in the aircraft at Biggin Hill Airport, in Kent. The 95-year-old is also a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, Germany's highest military honour in World War Two.
