MIKE van Venrooij is 16-year-old war researcher from Holland.

He is currently investigating a Spitfire IVX fighter plane crash on March 19, 1945 in the village of Nuland, Holland.

Saul studied at Waterloo Road School in Manchester and was a former member of the Grove House Jewish Boys' Brigade.

He worked for his father's company before he enlisted in the airforce.
