:00:13. > :00:19.Good evening. Coming up tonight - is the cost of carry insurance
:00:19. > :00:27.tempting young people to drive up illegally? There is always the
:00:28. > :00:32.temptation there. No one I know has done it. We find out why there are
:00:32. > :00:38.so many homeless migrant in Peterborough.
:00:38. > :00:48.And could Biggles sweep the skies again? We meet the man who wants to
:00:48. > :01:14.
:01:14. > :01:24.All kinds of planes use this aeroplane -- used this airfield.
:01:24. > :01:26.
:01:26. > :01:32.But first to car insurance. Premiums are so high that 250,000
:01:32. > :01:42.young drivers are on our roads without insurance.
:01:42. > :01:45.
:01:45. > :01:49.That is good. Slowdown. Perfect. the past the most difficult thing a
:01:49. > :01:56.young drivers had to think about was carrying out the complicated
:01:56. > :02:00.manoeuvres to complete the test. But today passing the test is only
:02:00. > :02:06.the start of their problems. Insurance costs for young drivers
:02:06. > :02:16.have rocketed. One is survey shows that the
:02:16. > :02:26.average cost for a young male driver is �4,000 per year. I am 17
:02:26. > :02:26.
:02:26. > :02:35.years old. I've recently got up 206 1.4 litre. The cheapest quote I got
:02:35. > :02:45.for insurance was �7,500. I have been a driving instructor for
:02:45. > :02:48.
:02:48. > :02:55.several years. Less people are coming for driving lessons. BC they
:02:55. > :03:00.cannot afford the insurance. situation has become so serious
:03:00. > :03:06.that the Transport Select Committee met to highlight the high costs of
:03:07. > :03:13.insurance for young people. We all remember what it was like to
:03:13. > :03:23.have our first car. The ability to drive to your place of work, to go
:03:23. > :03:24.
:03:24. > :03:34.to work. It was a rite of passage. But now and many people are priced
:03:34. > :03:36.
:03:36. > :03:46.out of the market. How many of you are driving? My car cost �2,500 and
:03:46. > :03:46.
:03:46. > :03:56.my insurance costs the same. Give me an example of some of the quotes
:03:56. > :03:57.
:03:57. > :04:02.you have got. �2,500. Have any of you been tempted, or do you know
:04:02. > :04:12.people who have been tempted to drive without insurance? I have
:04:12. > :04:15.
:04:15. > :04:23.been tempted. There is always that temptation. But no one has done it.
:04:23. > :04:33.We went over all the costs. I am going to university next year. It
:04:33. > :04:36.
:04:36. > :04:46.was not worth it. Bargain should his companies taking advantage?
:04:46. > :04:51.
:04:51. > :05:01.younger people have to pay two- earner lower premiums.
:05:01. > :05:02.
:05:02. > :05:11.250,000 young drivers on our roads are not insured. This young man was
:05:11. > :05:19.hit by an uninsured young driver. use my car for my full-time job.
:05:19. > :05:28.You have got to a car insurance. It is the lot. It costs �700 to get my
:05:28. > :05:34.car fixed. Do you have any sympathy because insurance premiums are so
:05:34. > :05:39.high for young people? I do not. Why is car insurance so expensive
:05:39. > :05:48.for young men in particular? Young men are more likely to have car
:05:48. > :05:58.accidents. When those accidents happen at the are likely to be more
:05:58. > :05:58.
:05:58. > :06:04.serious. When I learned to drive it cost �200. Note the insurance
:06:04. > :06:12.premiums are higher than the cost of a car. What has changed in the
:06:12. > :06:17.last 15 years? What has changed is the cost of personal injury claims.
:06:17. > :06:21.Those costs have risen sharply. Those costs are becoming
:06:21. > :06:31.unaffordable for young people. is now such an issue that the
:06:31. > :06:33.
:06:33. > :06:42.Government is being urged to get involved. Referral fees in personal
:06:42. > :06:52.injury claims are driving up the cost of insurance. It is part of
:06:52. > :06:54.
:06:54. > :07:00.the compensation culture. Some people make fraudulent claims.
:07:00. > :07:09.Should the Government get more involved? The Government does not
:07:10. > :07:19.have that power. The Government can take steps to minimise the risks of
:07:19. > :07:26.young people driving. The test needs to be as robust as possible.
:07:26. > :07:32.1 area that the Government has been asked to look that is how new
:07:32. > :07:38.technology can help young drivers drive more safely.
:07:38. > :07:46.This man is one of the first in the country to take the idea on board.
:07:46. > :07:50.This car has a secret. Hidden inside is a black-box recorder. It
:07:50. > :07:55.records everything from how he drives to the time he is out and
:07:55. > :08:04.about on the road. The information is fed back to their insurance
:08:04. > :08:11.company. How does this work? This tracker
:08:11. > :08:18.picks up where the driver is. It measured acceleration, cornering,
:08:18. > :08:24.and what time of day it is. Then that the insurance can be priced
:08:24. > :08:32.more freely depending on how he is driving. How is it working out?
:08:32. > :08:39.overall score is standard. Better driving would qualify him for an
:08:39. > :08:45.extra discount. We can see how are the speed
:08:45. > :08:53.faeries each be. Perhaps he was driving too fast on those
:08:53. > :08:58.particular days. He could also log on to a website at home to keep up-
:08:58. > :09:08.to-date with what he is doing. Does that feel like you're being
:09:08. > :09:18.spied on? Not all the time. It is good to know you can evaluate how
:09:18. > :09:19.
:09:19. > :09:23.you were driving. What difference has it made to your cost? I am
:09:23. > :09:32.paying �1,300. That is hundreds of pounds cheaper than what my friends
:09:32. > :09:36.are paying. Several insurers now offer the black box. With insurance
:09:36. > :09:45.costs continuing to rise is might not be long before this type of
:09:45. > :09:49.technology is standard. If there is something you think we
:09:49. > :09:59.should investigate please contact should investigate please contact
:09:59. > :10:06.
:10:06. > :10:16.Years of restoration finally over, but will this aeroplane trip to the
:10:16. > :10:24.Most people who come to this country do so hoping for a better
:10:24. > :10:31.life. Our reporter has been finding out why some migrants would rather
:10:31. > :10:40.be homeless in this country than in their own country. These guys are
:10:40. > :10:48.trapped. If we did not feed them I hate to think what would happen to
:10:48. > :10:53.them. It is Friday night at Peterborough's soup kitchen. The
:10:53. > :11:03.team is preparing for its latest run. More than half of the people
:11:03. > :11:03.
:11:03. > :11:08.they serve here have come from other countries. It comes in waves.
:11:08. > :11:14.The current wave has been from Eastern Europe. Before that it was
:11:14. > :11:23.from places like Portugal. We have seen faces change, but they are all
:11:23. > :11:31.people as far as we are concerned. Soup, my friend. How desperate are
:11:31. > :11:37.they? Very desperate. They come here as a last resort. They are
:11:37. > :11:42.starving. It is impossible to say how many migrants are sleeping
:11:42. > :11:52.rough in Peterborough, but the problem has changed. It has become
:11:52. > :11:53.
:11:53. > :12:02.This is the place that catapulted Peterborough into the national
:12:02. > :12:08.headlines. It is a busy roundabout. The people driving past every day
:12:08. > :12:12.were oblivious to what was occurring behind me.
:12:12. > :12:17.Peterborough seems to have had a bigger problem with homeless
:12:17. > :12:23.migrants and many other parts of the country. I have been tried to
:12:23. > :12:31.find out quite so many people choose to come and stay here.
:12:31. > :12:41.It was in the summer of 2010 that I first thought this police officer
:12:41. > :12:46.
:12:46. > :12:53.People used his place. We have found a tent. Nobody is living here
:12:53. > :12:56.any more. Or so it appears. Underneath there is plenty of
:12:56. > :13:01.evidence of someone living here. The critic here like this so that
:13:01. > :13:06.no-one thinks there is anyone living there. Yards away is another
:13:06. > :13:10.camp. Lucie is from the Czech Republic. She speaks four languages,
:13:10. > :13:16.and it is this that helps her to build up a rapport with the people
:13:16. > :13:20.that she finds. Now we come to a wood in another part of
:13:20. > :13:26.Peterborough. There are two Major camps. We can see signs that people
:13:26. > :13:32.have been living here. It has been nothing like the scale that we saw
:13:32. > :13:37.on previous visits. This was one of 15 camps in Peterborough. It was
:13:37. > :13:40.cleared by the council in the spring of 2010. Then a government-
:13:40. > :13:46.funded programme offered to fly people back to their home country
:13:46. > :13:50.if they fell on hard times. Lucie found that was not for everyone.
:13:50. > :13:54.What do you think about a relocation programme? They do not
:13:54. > :14:01.want to go back. They are hoping they will be able to find jobs here
:14:01. > :14:06.and be able to stay to have a better life. Since then, police and
:14:06. > :14:10.the UK Border agency have got tougher. The gentleman is wanted by
:14:10. > :14:14.the UK Border agency, whom I can't get in touch with. People who
:14:14. > :14:18.cannot prove they are looking for work can be arrested. They can also
:14:18. > :14:25.be forcibly removed from the country. We previously had options
:14:25. > :14:30.where people could go back to their country. Now what is almost that
:14:30. > :14:34.zero tolerance because they get a warning and then three months to
:14:34. > :14:38.prove they are looking for a job and looking for housing or slipping
:14:38. > :14:48.in a house. However, if they do not abide by these rules, they might
:14:48. > :14:48.
:14:48. > :14:52.see themselves being removed from the country. So it is definite?
:14:52. > :15:02.Because of the tougher line being taken, last year people intent on
:15:02. > :15:06.staying split into smaller groups to become less noticeable. You do
:15:06. > :15:11.not see such large encampments as you used to. It is usually about
:15:11. > :15:15.five people. Sometimes there is a group of 10. If you have a big
:15:15. > :15:20.group of people you can hear them more from a distance and it becomes
:15:20. > :15:29.more suspicious. If you have 20 people walking in and out of prayer
:15:29. > :15:34.menace -- premises. Until last May, migrants could only claim benefits
:15:34. > :15:37.if they had been working here for a year. Now that has changed and you
:15:37. > :15:42.can get allowances if you have been looking for work for three months.
:15:42. > :15:46.Housing officers say the number of migrants sleeping rough has dropped.
:15:46. > :15:50.People find that they are unable to find employment. They will come to
:15:50. > :15:55.us or someone will bring them to us, or a voluntary agency will bring
:15:55. > :15:59.someone, and then we can work with them. We have also found that,
:15:59. > :16:05.because people know they will be returned to their country of origin
:16:05. > :16:15.with dignity, they are more likely to return home. In April 2010 we
:16:15. > :16:17.
:16:17. > :16:19.had around 14 encampments around the city. We now have something
:16:19. > :16:29.like nine or ten acre in -- European Economic Area National's
:16:29. > :16:33.sleeping rough in the city. Some people have come to the City
:16:33. > :16:37.expecting to find employment and that, unfortunately, turned out to
:16:37. > :16:41.be temporary. They came with a dream and the dream stops with the
:16:41. > :16:45.employment. They find themselves quite quickly on the streets.
:16:45. > :16:50.formal study has been done as to why people choose to come to
:16:50. > :16:54.Peterborough, but some have suggested it is because of its
:16:54. > :17:04.location - one of the first mainline train stops heading out of
:17:04. > :17:05.
:17:05. > :17:10.London. We have come here to better our lives, find employment. Even to
:17:10. > :17:15.become a little bit richer. Anna Dziuba chose to move to
:17:15. > :17:18.Peterborough to run a website, hearing that the place was the
:17:18. > :17:21.third most popular place for Polish people to live in Britain because
:17:22. > :17:25.of job opportunities. She and her husband are making a successful
:17:25. > :17:29.life here, but she accepted does not work for everyone. People might
:17:29. > :17:35.not be able to understand why people would be homeless living on
:17:35. > :17:42.waste ground here and not want to return to their country. In it is a
:17:42. > :17:49.tricky question because right now you're asking me whether it is OK,
:17:49. > :17:53.or better to be Thomas in a richer country than a poor country. My
:17:53. > :18:01.answer is that it is better if you are forced to be a homeless person
:18:01. > :18:05.in the richer country. For example, in the UK. To stop the negative
:18:05. > :18:11.comments, I need to say that Polish people are not coming here on
:18:11. > :18:16.purpose to become homeless. Behind every homeless person there is
:18:16. > :18:20.always a tragic story, no matter their nationality of. Back at the
:18:20. > :18:30.soup kitchen, Michael from Latvia at is one who is hoping for better
:18:30. > :18:31.
:18:31. > :18:37.times. -- Michael from Latvia is. From 21-24 years old it is quite
:18:37. > :18:42.difficult to get a job. Are you not tempted to go back on? If it was a
:18:42. > :18:47.nice, good job, then we probably would go back, but there is
:18:47. > :18:52.currently no work. So we she -- so you would rather be homeless here
:18:53. > :18:58.than go back home? It is better. has been quieter than normal here.
:18:58. > :19:07.Ian has helped to serve more than 40 meals, but it is almost -- often
:19:07. > :19:12.almost double that. We have the highest almost as outside of London.
:19:12. > :19:18.We would like the council to come and count one night. The economy is
:19:18. > :19:23.still declining, so I see the numbers growing. The overseas
:19:23. > :19:29.people, I still think there is as much property in eastern Europe as
:19:29. > :19:38.there is here, so I still see the numbers from overseas growing.
:19:38. > :19:42.During the winter we tend to see fewer people. Next summer or, when
:19:42. > :19:46.the fields are paved with gold, we will see the numbers growing from
:19:46. > :19:49.that side as well. Not all of a homeless in Peterborough are
:19:49. > :19:57.migrants, but many who are believe that their prospects are better
:19:57. > :20:03.here than at home. And, with some succeeding, more will follow.
:20:03. > :20:07.Many years ago, two brothers built a replica of First World War
:20:07. > :20:11.biplane right here at Sywell aerodrome. It was made for a film
:20:11. > :20:16.company who were going to make -- put the fictional aviation hero
:20:16. > :20:21.Biggles on the big screen. But things did not go to plan. We first
:20:21. > :20:31.started this story on Inside Out six years ago. Finally, tonight, we
:20:31. > :20:33.
:20:33. > :20:37.hear the conclusion. Biggles was Britain's most famous
:20:37. > :20:41.aviation hero. The stories were written by a Hertfordshire pilot.
:20:41. > :20:49.The fictional First World War fighter pilot Biggles inspired a
:20:49. > :20:52.whole generation of pilots. He was created by W E Johns. He used his
:20:52. > :21:00.experiences as a pilot in the First World War to write almost 100 books
:21:00. > :21:03.about Biggles. I think he inspired a whole generation to take an
:21:03. > :21:10.interest in flying. Many of those people them went through to learn
:21:10. > :21:14.to fly themselves, and certainly from the 1920s and 1930s we got the
:21:14. > :21:19.group of pilots who became the Battle of Britain pilots, the Dam
:21:19. > :21:24.Busters, the people who won the Second World War, thanks to good
:21:24. > :21:29.old Biggles. For the books were a huge hit all the world, and in the
:21:29. > :21:32.1960s Hollywood beckoned. Biggles would be on the big screen. Two men
:21:32. > :21:38.from Northamptonshire were chosen to build the aeroplane that would
:21:38. > :21:48.make Biggles flies. My brother Charles and I were asked to design
:21:48. > :21:48.
:21:48. > :21:57.and build up a BE-2C, which was over a very short period of time.
:21:57. > :22:05.This was for Universal films, there were making a film on Biggles. It
:22:05. > :22:11.was to be called Biggles Suites The Skies. The this is one of the only
:22:11. > :22:16.copies of the script that exist. Sadly the plan was not to be.
:22:16. > :22:24.was never finished, unfortunately, because the other company producing
:22:24. > :22:30.replicas did not complete their aircraft on time. We did. It was
:22:30. > :22:38.due to be filmed in Tunisia and, as a result of the next boat being
:22:38. > :22:44.delayed, it would have been too hot to fly, so it was never made. The
:22:44. > :22:54.aeroplane was sold privately to America. Charles Boddington never
:22:54. > :22:56.
:22:56. > :23:00.got to fly the biplane again. The man who tried to bring Biggles to
:23:00. > :23:06.the screen was killed in an air crash. As for the plane which
:23:06. > :23:12.should have brought to -- brought Biggles to cinema audiences, that
:23:12. > :23:15.crashed in Wisconsin in 1977. The remains disappeared but, in the
:23:15. > :23:19.true spirit of Biggles, it certainly was not the end of the
:23:19. > :23:24.story. This is Matt Boddington. He was just a boy when his father was
:23:24. > :23:31.killed. He is also passionate about aviation. My father inspired me to
:23:31. > :23:36.fly. It was in the blood from an early age. My father did a lot of
:23:36. > :23:42.film flying. At the age of one I actually flew from this airfield on
:23:42. > :23:47.his lap. From that point I always wanted to fly. I was in the
:23:47. > :23:52.enviable position that I would get to spend my days playing with all
:23:52. > :23:56.the aeroplanes. I restore, maintain and fly vintage aeroplanes. Where
:23:56. > :24:02.was that one vintage plane his father had built for the Biggles
:24:02. > :24:10.film? A tip-off led to New York State. Hidden in a barn in a town
:24:10. > :24:13.called Rhinebeck, there she was - because' biplane, an emotional
:24:13. > :24:17.moment format. I never thought I would get to the stage. To be
:24:17. > :24:21.sitting in this, even now, it is quite amazing. Having tracked it
:24:21. > :24:26.down, Matt was determined to get the plane back to Northamptonshire
:24:26. > :24:32.so that he could rebuild it. We had mixed emotions, really. There was a
:24:32. > :24:36.sense of relief that it had got back here. It was also quite
:24:36. > :24:41.emotional because it was back here where dad built it and where it
:24:41. > :24:45.first flew. That would have wanted to see the aeroplane flying again.
:24:45. > :24:49.It was built by him for a film about Biggles, C he would
:24:49. > :24:54.definitely have wanted to see it flying again. It has been six years
:24:54. > :24:59.since we last filmed with Matt Boddington. He and his team have
:24:59. > :25:04.been hard at work in his workshop at Sywell in Northamptonshire.
:25:04. > :25:12.does not seem like six years ago that the BE-2C arrived here at
:25:12. > :25:16.Sywell. It has gone well on the hall. It sounds as if it has gone
:25:16. > :25:23.pretty much the same as it did. The difference is that last time it
:25:23. > :25:27.took 13 weeks and this time it took six years! Sadly, Matt's Uncle
:25:27. > :25:32.David Boddington, who designed a plane, did not live long enough to
:25:32. > :25:39.see it flying. Unfortunately, he died of cancer last year. We hope
:25:39. > :25:42.he may be able to fight it off and see it fly. Sadly, he didn't. Now
:25:42. > :25:52.it is a tribute to both of them, really - both my father and my
:25:52. > :25:56.
:25:56. > :26:06.uncle. After six years of hard work, Biggles' by plane is rolled out of
:26:06. > :26:07.
:26:07. > :26:12.a hangar -- Biggles' biplane. Now she will fly again with his son at
:26:12. > :26:15.the controls. It is an emotion will moment for the family. A my heart
:26:15. > :26:22.is going like this. I have a big lump in my throat, but I am so
:26:22. > :26:26.proud of my son. I would like to think Charles is watching over him,
:26:26. > :26:30.guiding him along. He would be so proud of him. This is it - the
