0:00:02 > 0:00:04- I'm Mark.- And I'm Lauren. - And this is The Dengineers.
0:00:04 > 0:00:08The show that puts you in charge of building your very own dream den.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Dens for adventure.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Hello, trap door!
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Hanging out with your friends and family.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17This den is the best thing ever.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19And dens built to fulfil your dreams.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23It's more than he could ever have wanted.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Whatever your ideas, the Dengineers team are here
0:00:25 > 0:00:29to transform your inspiration into amazing spaces.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Built especially for you.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33ALL: This den is done!
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Hello!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Yes, you, Lola.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's do it.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- That is epic!- I'm really happy.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57It's amazing!
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Welcome to The Dengineers.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Today, we are super excited because...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Aircraft 352!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Calling in at Redhill airfield, we are coming in to land
0:01:11 > 0:01:13in approximately two and a half minutes.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Mark?- Sorry.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Oh, never mind.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22We are super excited because we are going to be building a dream den
0:01:22 > 0:01:26for an 11-year-old boy called Phillip from Oxted in Surrey
0:01:26 > 0:01:28who loves planes even more than Mark does.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Never!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35The Dengineer we are going to be surprising today
0:01:35 > 0:01:37is plane fanatic Phillip.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40I really need a den
0:01:40 > 0:01:42because my room is full of model planes.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44so, please, Dengineers,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46come and help my plans take off.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Phillip is fascinated by planes, especially ones from World War II,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56and he wants to be an RAF engineer when he's older.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Making model planes is one of his favourite things to do
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and helps to distract him from a condition that he suffers from
0:02:02 > 0:02:05called eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Phillip was diagnosed pretty much from birth.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11There was always something a little bit different.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15And then it really was noticeable when he was slow learning to walk.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Although Phillip's condition means he's often in pain,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23he doesn't let it stop him trying new things.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Phillip really, really is an active character.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29He's passionate about his cricket,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31he performs in the local theatre,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33he wants to be doing everything,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35which does make it heartbreaking
0:02:35 > 0:02:39when you go past the medical room in school and he's curled up
0:02:39 > 0:02:44and he's simply physically not able to do anything.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45A den would be great for Phillip
0:02:45 > 0:02:49because it would really distract him from the EGID that he has,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51because he gets very frustrated and in pain a lot
0:02:51 > 0:02:54and he can't do as much as he wants to sometimes.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Most adults, they'd struggle to keep a smile on their face,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00but not Phillip. He deserves his dream den.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Phillip has always wanted to visit Redhill Aerodrome,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10so his mum and big sister, Sarah, have made up an excuse
0:03:10 > 0:03:15to bring him to the pilot's hub cafe where we will be waiting.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Quick, quick!
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- It's ringing.- OK. We are ringing Mum to get them to come over.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24He answered! No, he didn't.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Don't say that!
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Mum, we are in position.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Are you ready?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Brilliant. We'll see you soon. Bye.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Is she coming?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34She sounds on it, like Mission: Impossible!
0:03:34 > 0:03:35- Really? - She's like, OK, we are coming.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37You are brilliant!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40The team spring into action, rigging the cafe with hidden cameras.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45There's cake cam, and we've even hidden a microphone in the teapot,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47just in time for the family to arrive.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Yeah, if that's OK. I'll go in the middle and then you can see out.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55(Hold me up, hold me up!)
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- (Can you see?) - (He's there, he's there!)
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Can I get you some drinks while...?
0:03:58 > 0:03:59(I think we are ready to go.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01(It never gets easier, this bit.)
0:04:01 > 0:04:02- (Let's go.) - (Come on.)
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Phillip? How are you doing?
0:04:06 > 0:04:11I'm Mark and this is Lauren, and we are from CBBC's The Dengineers.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14We're here to tell you that you are going to get to build
0:04:14 > 0:04:17your very own dream plane den.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- Really?- Yeah, really.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Did you have any idea?- No.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Oh, you are genuinely shocked, aren't you?
0:04:24 > 0:04:25You're a little bit flustered right now.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28It's a bit much, isn't it? What have you got to say to your mum
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- and your sister for keeping it quiet?- Well done!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Well, we'd better get going. Are you ready?- Yeah.- Come on, then.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34- Let's go.- Come on, let's go.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- See you, Mum. See you, Sis. Well done.- See you later.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40It's crazy because, when Mark and Lauren came through the door,
0:04:40 > 0:04:41I just didn't expect it.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I can honestly say I don't think he's ever been
0:04:43 > 0:04:45so surprised in his life.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48He has dreamt of having this den
0:04:48 > 0:04:50and he'd never, ever thought it would happen.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53And to see his face was just a wonderful moment.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56It would be just great to have a den in my garden
0:04:56 > 0:04:58that will have loads of my favourite stuff in.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03We head straight to the Dengineers' mobile HQ,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05which has some mega-cool, cutting-edge tech
0:05:05 > 0:05:07that can bring Phillip's plane den to life.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Phillip, you are now standing in the Dengineers' mobile HQ.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14This is where the magic happens.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Excited?- Yeah, very excited.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Well, get stuck in.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Do not leave any stone unturned, because this is your opportunity.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23It's your den, you are the decision maker.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Go for it. Pick out what you like.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I quite like the control panel.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Nice!- Because when we went to this aviation museum,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33you got to go in a real cockpit and pretend to fly a plane.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Wow, that's amazing!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37What about the type of plane?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39What kind of types of planes do you like?
0:05:39 > 0:05:40I like the Spitfire.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Oh, the Spitfire!
0:05:42 > 0:05:43He even knows the names!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- Love that. - So you like World War II planes?
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Yeah, I love them.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51So do you want the den to almost look like the inside of a cockpit?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I imagine it as, at the front,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56you could almost pretend to be flying a plane.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57That's what I'd really like.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Oh, amazing!- That is cool.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I love it already, and I hate flying.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I quite like the suit that pilots wear.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- Brilliant.- I also quite like the Lancaster bomber.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Ah! Does that still fly now?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Because it's pretty old. - There are only two left flying.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Two of those left in the entire world?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Yeah.- Wow! - That's impressive.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20And very impressive that you know all this as well, by the way.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Let's see what else we've got. - I quite like the logo.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23- Yeah, amazing.- Oh, nice.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26I was thinking these proper seats,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29then it would make me feel like I was actually in the plane.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32And maybe the wallpaper to be sky,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34so it's like I was actually in the sky, flying.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Anything else that you like the look of?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Yeah, I like the propeller. - I was just going to say.- Propellers.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42We've got to throw a model plane on there, surely.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43I think it's pretty jam-packed.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Do you, Loza?- It looks amazing.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- So, Phillip, you are happy? - I'm very happy.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Loza, are you happy?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I am excited.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52In that case, it's time for takeoff.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Phillip's mood board is full of ideas for his den.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01He wants a World War II-themed plane den,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04complete with cockpit and pilot's chair.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08He also wants to look the part with his very own flight suit.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10But which of the Dengineers designers
0:07:10 > 0:07:13will be building Phillip's den?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15It's Sege.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Sege has been in the building business for over 30 years.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21There's nothing he doesn't know about building dens.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24If anyone can make Phillip's plane den ideas take flight,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26it's Sege the ledge.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31In your ideal den, what would be on your wish list?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33How would you want your den to look?
0:07:33 > 0:07:39Maybe a Spitfire seat, so you could pretend to fly the plane in the den.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Oh, that sounds good, yeah.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42So then you could see out
0:07:42 > 0:07:44and it would be like you are flying the plane.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48And then maybe the interior could be like the Lancaster.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- You've thought about this design, then?- Yeah.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53You could have, like, a joystick and you could pretend to fly it.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Now, you also like making planes, making model aeroplanes?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Yeah.- Would it be helpful if we had somewhere for you
0:07:58 > 0:08:00to make those model aeroplanes and perhaps hang them up?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Yeah, it would be good to hang some up in there.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06I think what would be really good is if we captured a bit of atmosphere,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08a bit of World War II atmosphere, wouldn't it?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Yeah.- Because you'd sort of feel like you're going back in time.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11- What do you think?- Yeah.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I am really excited about getting on with this one.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15- Yeah.- This is going to be fun!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Inspired by Phillip's love of classic planes,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Sege plans to incorporate both the Spitfire and the Lancaster bomber
0:08:23 > 0:08:24in the design of the den.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Phillip will feel like he's in the driving seat
0:08:26 > 0:08:29with a specially created cockpit and chair,
0:08:29 > 0:08:31and there will be plenty of space for him to build models
0:08:31 > 0:08:33at the flight command table.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37It's day one of the build.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40The team get cracking with clearing the garden,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43and there's an old climbing frame to dismantle.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Phillip's dad's at work,
0:08:44 > 0:08:48but he's roped in his mum and his sister, Sarah, to give him a hand.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Sarah, you are not doing it right!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Phillip leaves his mum and sister with the climbing frame
0:08:55 > 0:08:58while he gets started on the base of the den.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Going to put a frame together, it's called a shuttering.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- And this is going to be the size of the base of your building.- OK.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06So, if you can help me drive some of the screws in so it's nice and firm.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07- OK.- Lovely. Perfect.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I thought it'd be much smaller, but it's actually quite big.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13It's a good size, isn't it?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16There's going to be plenty of room to have lots of fun in there.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Phillip has completed the wooden frame of his den,
0:09:18 > 0:09:22but Mum and sister Sarah are still struggling with the climbing frame.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24I'm not going to help them.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Oh!
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I thought we'd be sitting inside
0:09:27 > 0:09:29and Phillip would be doing all the work.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Now, we're going to get the digger and start digging this out.- Cool.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35We've found the smallest digger possible,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38but it's still going to be a tight squeeze
0:09:38 > 0:09:39to get it into Phillip's garden.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I'm a little concerned about the noises coming around that corner
0:09:45 > 0:09:48from the digger and whether it's actually going to fit round...
0:09:50 > 0:09:52..without demolishing half the house!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Yay!
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Highly trained, we are.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08And the newest engineer is about to be put in the driving seat.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11The digger is doing quite a lot of things at the same time.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14If you go right, that'll take that back out.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15It's called crowding out.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17When you're turning round, your boom's out,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20make sure there's nothing around. No people around you, OK?
0:10:20 > 0:10:25Phillip quickly gets the hang of the digger and there's no stopping him.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29So, Dengineers Adam and Gary can sit back and relax.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- We don't need to be here, really. - No.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Finish the tea and go home. He's doing very, very well.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46It's not just the ground that's been prepared today.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Dengineer Jeff is laying a cable
0:10:48 > 0:10:50that will bring electricity from Phillip's house
0:10:50 > 0:10:51to the site of the den.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52This box on the wall here
0:10:52 > 0:10:55allows us to connect our steel wire armoured cable,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57which is going to go off to the den, into the house wiring.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59When all the connections are made, and it's been tested,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I'll fill it up with resin so it completely waterproofs it.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06This will go on top to warn anybody, should they start digging,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08that there is a power cable down there.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It's been a good day. A lot of work, but good fun.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27And the family have helped a lot.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Phillip, especially, with very little instruction,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32and it's just been a really good day all round.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45It's day two and Sege and the Dengineers arrive early to unload.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Having the Dengineers here makes me feel happy and excited,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52because they are all working on a den for me.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55While they crack on, the first job of the day
0:11:55 > 0:11:59is to make the bottom of the garden officially Dengineers only.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02So, Mum and Sarah, thank you very much for all your hard work
0:12:02 > 0:12:04getting the ground and the base all sorted.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Dad, on the other hand, don't want to use the word skiver,
0:12:07 > 0:12:08but I'm going to.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Working hard. - You were at work.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12But, for now, it's time for something very special.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Phillip, would you like to do the honours?
0:12:14 > 0:12:15It's Dengineers only.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Dengineers only.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Which means you guys have to get lost.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I'll take them away. Wave them goodbye.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22See you, guys. Au revoir.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27There's a great feeling of a loss of control not knowing what is going on
0:12:27 > 0:12:29behind that blue screen at the moment,
0:12:29 > 0:12:32and the temptation to bribe someone to get behind there
0:12:32 > 0:12:35and have a peek is quite strong.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I'm very excited about what's happening today,
0:12:38 > 0:12:42because Mum, Sarah, and Dad aren't allowed behind the screens and I am.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I think I'm quite happy that the Dengineer's in control.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47It's what Phillip's up to round there that's bothering me.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48No!
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Can you just stop?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52With Mum, Dad and Sarah out of the way,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Phillip's den can start to take off
0:12:55 > 0:12:57with Sege ready to go full throttle on the den.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Today's a big. exciting day, Phillip.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01We've got a lot of the main structure to put up.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03A lot of heavy work.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04When I was Phillip's age,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I loved everything about the Second World War.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09This is kind of like your dream den, as well as Phillip's dream den.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I think it's more my dream den, in fact.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14You're not building this for yourself now? Sorry, Sege.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15What do you think, Phillip?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Are you excited? - Yeah. I'm really excited.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20And if Sege loves it, I think I will.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22First to go up are the walls.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28That's it. Remember, a bit of pressure going down.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30DRILL GRINDS
0:13:30 > 0:13:32And some big hitters are required.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Step forward, Muscles Layfield.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37You can get a lot of rage out using that.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44As the main structure starts to come together,
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I want to find out more about Sege's design for Phillip's den.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50So, tell me, why the curve?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Because the theme is very Second World War,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55the shape is based on a Nissen hut.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57It was used for housing men, supplies,
0:13:57 > 0:13:58all kind of things, really.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00And it had a big, curved roof.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Because a curve is a very strong shape.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03That surprises me,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05because I would have thought a flat top
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- would be stronger than the curve. - No, it's actually not.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10This is your flat top.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11That's like your roof, OK?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14But, if I place that brick on there,
0:14:14 > 0:14:15you can see what happens to it.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Very, very weak.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20It has no support of its own to speak of, so it just caves in.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25However, if I take this card and bend it into an arch, like that.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Into the shape of a Nissen hut,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31and then I place this half brick on top...
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Ta-dah!
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Magical. That is really clever.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37And that's why an arch is so much stronger.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39It's self-supporting.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43The curved, or arched shape of Phillip's roof
0:14:43 > 0:14:45means that it is incredibly strong.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47If anything were to drop on the roof,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49the downward force would be spread equally
0:14:49 > 0:14:52through the curve of the roof and down the prefabricated walls
0:14:52 > 0:14:53into the ground.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01This is the bit you are going to put on the roof, this is the felt.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Very important, keeps the water out, and the weather out.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- How's that?- That's it.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Keep going. Keep going. Keep rolling.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09That's it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12This is turning out to be quite a work-out.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Keep going, nice and smooth.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Keep going, keep going. That's it. - And then we can cut that.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18LAUREN GROANS
0:15:21 > 0:15:23'After all that stretching, I need a rest,
0:15:23 > 0:15:27'so I'm off to find out more about what this den will mean to Phillip.'
0:15:27 > 0:15:29So, first of all, tell us about Phillip.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32He suffers with quite a rare condition, doesn't he?
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Yes. It's a condition called
0:15:33 > 0:15:36eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39He has problems absorbing and eating food.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42It means he doesn't put on weight very well
0:15:42 > 0:15:46and doesn't grow very well and can be in a lot of pain, at times.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49And how does it affect him on a day-to-day basis?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52He's still very energetic, but he can be down at times.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56That's where, really, this whole idea came in,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58because he works with his model planes.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59It's therapeutic.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01It gives him something to focus on
0:16:01 > 0:16:04and it means he's not thinking about the pain.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07He really does get deeply distracted by it.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Sometimes, you can just call him and he doesn't respond
0:16:10 > 0:16:12because he's just so focused on what he's doing.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Phillip, dinner's ready!
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Nothing.- Nothing. - Absolutely nothing.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18What do you think the den will do for him,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21in terms of managing his illness?
0:16:21 > 0:16:25When he does feel ill, he likes to be completely, sort of, on his own.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29It will give him somewhere where he can disappear off to
0:16:29 > 0:16:31and really just get himself back up to a level
0:16:31 > 0:16:34where he's happy to face the world again.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Back at the den, the Dengineers have started on the roof.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44OK. We've cut the felt so now it's time to stick it.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Well volunteered, Phillip.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Let me hold this real tight for you.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Pete's up there with you, Phillip.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52So he'll show you what to do.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I'll put the dollop on the middle for you
0:16:55 > 0:16:57and if you'd like to spread it around in this section here,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59we can stick the felt down.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Phillip has done a really good job,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15but, apparently, I'm not off the hook,
0:17:15 > 0:17:19as he's challenged me to a very different kind of build.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Phillip, you've challenged me to a build.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23What's the rules?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25The first person to build the Spitfire wins.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27OK, then, well, that's good.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Because I am an expert at building Spitfires.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31- Sure.- OK, then.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35OK. So, these instructions, yeah?
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Yeah.- You're not even helping me one bit, then.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Just, like, "Yeah!" What are you doing there?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41You are pulling out some people.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43What's your normal tactic.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Don't let Lauren distract you.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Right. Sure.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Did you know, if you look over there long enough,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52you see a rare endangered bird?
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Where?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Oh, I don't know where.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I'm fuming about this.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Right. Forget the man. I'm going to forget the man,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07because the man just doesn't want to work.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Where does that even go? What?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Why have you almost finished? I haven't even got the...
0:18:13 > 0:18:15The man's almost fallen out of his chair!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Just get that nice and secure.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Done.- What?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26I mean, I wouldn't want to fly in that.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I am sick of building today.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29I'm off.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35OLD-FASHIONED VOICE-OVER: It's day three of the build,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37and the heavens have opened.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38But that won't stop the Dengineers,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40who are already hard at work
0:18:40 > 0:18:43while I've got a special treat in store for Phillip.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Phillip loves historic planes and he dreams of being an RAF engineer.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52So, what I've got in store for him today
0:18:52 > 0:18:54he's going to absolutely love.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56And it all happens right over there.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Phillip is about to become a junior apprentice
0:19:00 > 0:19:03at the Aircraft Restoration Company.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07They're experts in restoring and recreating historic planes.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Engineer Mark is showing us the ropes.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13He's been building Spitfires for over 20 years.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17We've got new wings being made, tail unit being made.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Paint shop. Then everything comes together
0:19:19 > 0:19:22and becomes a Spitfire, like that one. Mark 19.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28The first job of the day is riveting part of the plane.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30DRILLING
0:19:35 > 0:19:36So, this is a snap head rivet.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39If you look at the top, you see a dome to it, yeah?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41WHIRRING
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Right. That's your first rivet you put in, in a Spitfire.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Very gently, squeeze the trigger.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Pull the block square. That's it. - WHIRRING
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Oh, dear. I think that one will have to come out.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Shall I get you a cup of tea, and you two can carry on?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- Yeah.- Good idea.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I think he'll make a very good engineer.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02He soon picks things up, which is excellent, yeah.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Today's going really well.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09I got to rivet a new Spitfire and now I'm cleaning a Chipmunk.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13- Hello, Phillip.- Hiya.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I'm Mo, an engineer here at Duxford.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Looks like you're doing a really good job there.- Thank you.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Nice and clean.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Well, later on today, I've got to do a test flight on this aeroplane.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- If you'd like to come with me, you're more than welcome.- Really?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Yeah. Like the sound of that? - Yes.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Hang on a minute. What's going on here?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I've gone to make the teas and you two are in a Chipmunk.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38See you, Mark. We're going for a flight.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- OK, Phillip. Are you ready?- Yes.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55He's off. It's unbelievable.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57You've gone up in an old-school plane.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01He's loving it. Look at him! All the way up there.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02How high are we?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04About 700 feet at the moment.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08He's actually experiencing what a trainee Spitfire pilot
0:21:08 > 0:21:10would experience. He's waving.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15This is different to being on a big jet plane.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18It is, isn't it? You can feel every bump, can't you?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20It's so cool.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22It's like we're floating in the air.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- Yeah. It's real flying, this is. - Yeah.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34He's coming in to land.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39That is amazing! Wow!
0:21:39 > 0:21:42He has probably had the best time of his life.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- How cool was that? - That was really cool.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Was it as good as you imagined? - It was better.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Now, that's a den day out.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57From now on, Phillip won't be able to see his den
0:21:57 > 0:21:59until the big reveal tomorrow.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03But Sege has one last job for him, involving an old office chair.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10I found this in my workshop.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14And I think we can upcycle this into a lovely surprise for you.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- How about that?- Yes.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18First up is a bit of demolition.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Strong! Oh, well done!
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Next step - paint.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Nice, smooth straight line.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Moving your elbow back.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31How does this compare to painting model planes?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Do you have to be more accurate painting model planes?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Yeah, because they are much smaller.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40I'm going to use this for something very, very special when it's dry.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43It's now a race to the finish line for the Dengineers.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46There's still so much to do inside and out.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I like that.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Nice and solid.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59I think that is perfect.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05The end of day three, can't wait for Phillip to see his den tomorrow.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Progress has been hectic, full-on, but great.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20It's the day of the big reveal,
0:23:20 > 0:23:24and the Dengineers are making final preparations
0:23:24 > 0:23:29before Phillip gets to see his plane den for the very first time.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- Wow!- You like it? - This looks incredible.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- It's cool, isn't it? - Can he actually see through that?
0:23:35 > 0:23:36- He can see through it. - So, from the outside,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- it looks like he's flying the plane. - Yeah.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40- That is incredible. - It's so, so cool.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Anyway, still got a few things to put together.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- OK. Ready to help me? - Yeah, always.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46- Let's get on.- All right.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Here's some stuff.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55- Lauren... - SHE IMITATES ENGINE
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Sege, just let her get on with it. She's enjoying herself.- OK.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01That is a really good photo, actually.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04He had the best day, I heard.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Oh, my gosh. What have you done?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09That is absolutely stuffed.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Just put it down there for now. We'll come back to it.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14As the finishing touches are put in place,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Phillip's friends and family are arriving for the big reveal,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21and everyone is looking forward to seeing the den for the first time.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Phillip's level of excitement is off the scale.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27To know it's just behind there when we have no idea what's there
0:24:27 > 0:24:28is just so exciting.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30It is his dream den, isn't it?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Can't wait to see his face.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Phillip wanted a den based on his favourite World War II planes,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47the Spitfire and the Lancaster.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Sege and the team have created just that.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52The bottom of Phillip's garden has been transformed,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55giving him a place where he can feel like he's flying,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58with a specially created cockpit and pilot's chair.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00There is also space to make his model planes,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03with a flight commander table.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05But will Phillip be walking on air,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08when he sees his den for the very first time?
0:25:08 > 0:25:13Phillip, family, and friends, are you ready to see the den?
0:25:13 > 0:25:14- ALL:- Yes!
0:25:14 > 0:25:18BOTH: Five, four, three,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21two, one!
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Oh, wow!
0:25:27 > 0:25:32My goodness me! Wow! It's incredible.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Phillip, talk to us.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35That is so cool.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37What's the first thing catching your eye there?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- The Spitfire. - Dad, what do you reckon?
0:25:39 > 0:25:43I think it looks very cool. Yeah. Very jealous.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- Mum, do you like it? - I think it looks brilliant.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47It's absolutely amazing.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49It means so much. But we'll never see him again.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51He'll be in there all the time.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- Shall we go and have a closer look, Phillip?- Yeah.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- Oh, that is so cool. - How good is that?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59It looks really old-school. Exactly what you like, isn't it?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Yeah. I like the sign.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02It looks really cool.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Right, Phillip. Are you ready to see inside?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Yes.- Come on.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Oh, wow!
0:26:09 > 0:26:11That is amazing.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14How cool is this?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17And it's got the command table, as well.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- And... - Oh, perfect fit!
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Oh, that is so cool.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Look, you can hang your models.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Make as many as you want and have them hanging from everywhere.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33What we've done is built the inside of the Nissen hut
0:26:33 > 0:26:35like the ribs of a Lancaster.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38And when you're sitting in that while you're flying
0:26:38 > 0:26:39in convoy with the Lancasters.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42So, basically, from the outside, it's a Spitfire.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44From the inside, it's a Lancaster.
0:26:44 > 0:26:50So, you've got your two dream planes in your dream den.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51- Can you remember that?- Yeah.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53You can see what we've used it for now.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56It's like the World War II pilot's seat,
0:26:56 > 0:27:00- because it's, like, leather. - This is a World War II chest mic,
0:27:00 > 0:27:04that the pilots would actually have here to speak to the command centre.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06When you're hanging out in your den, and, you know,
0:27:06 > 0:27:10you need Mum to bring you, like, a drink or something to eat,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12you can actually radio through to her using that.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Oh, that is so cool.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Those models were actually sent to you by the Ministry of Defence.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22They heard about what we were doing, how much you loved planes
0:27:22 > 0:27:24and thought they'd send them along as a present.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Oh, that is so cool.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28And, Phillip, it's us, from the other day.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Do you like that picture?- Yeah.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32So, Phillip, tell us, are you happy with your den?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I'm really happy with my den.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Thank you, Sege.- Oh, my pleasure.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38It's been fantastic.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40It's been just as much fun for me as it's been for you.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I've had a great time.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46That's me in the Chipmunk.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51It's just absolutely brilliant.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54More than he could ever have wanted.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55The whole family's gone.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Oh, Mum! Let's have a hug.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58- Aw!- Come on!
0:28:04 > 0:28:06ALL: This den is done!
