Up until now, the First World War had always been seen as a war that happened in black & white, but that was not the reality.

It was the first war to see the development of the fighter plane, the introduction of poison gas, the inventions of the tank and the flame thrower and the wide use of machine guns and heavy artillery, which caused such mass destruction.

Using rare archive footage from sources around the world, this 6 part series, has been painstakingly colourised using the latest computer aided technology to bring First World War to colour, as experienced by those who fought in and endured it.

To celebrate the opening of our First World War in the Air exhibition on 4 December we will be showing two episodes of this landmark TV series, World War 1 in Colour, narrated by Sir Kenneth Brannagh on 6 December.

Also present at this screening will be Dennis & Brenda Goodwin who are experts on the history of The Great War having founded and run The World War One Veterans Association.

Both Dennis & Brenda looked after the last 340 survivors, including the late Harry Patch and Henry Allingham who was Britain’s oldest man.
