Overview

A Plane is Born, presented by Mark Evans, is a 15 part series for Discovery Home and Leisure, in which he not only learns to fly but also builds his own two-seater aeroplane. During the course of the series, he tackles everything from the composite control surfaces to the installation of the engine. The series takes the viewer for the first time through the step-by-step process of building a 200 mph kit aircraft, capable of flying from England to the South of France on a single tank of fuel.
