  Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add but when there is nothing left to take away' Antoine de Saint- Exupery. A unique new film outlining the history of the Lasham Airfield from its construction in 1942 throughout the war years to 2006. Situated in the tranquil Hampshire countryside the airfield took 8 months to complete and stretches over 3 miles in length. Using archive footage dramatic reconstruction and interviews with war veterans writer and director Oliver Tobias takes us back to the airfields creation throughout the drama of the war years and ultimately to Lasham in the 21st Century as a Boeing 757 arrives at ATC Lasham's maintenance base for its 18 month service. A skilled team of engineers and crew work around the clock over a 15 day period totalling a number of 1 330 man hours. The aircraft successfully passes its rigorous service having gone through numerous inspection processes; it is now free to fly.
