Aquila (TV Series) (1997-1998)

British children's TV series.

While digging on farmland, friends Tom and Geoff discover a cavern containing the skeleton of a Roman centurion and a craft named Aquila. The boys learn to fly Aquila, and have to find ways to hide it, prevent doing damage with it, and communicate with it.

Tom and Geoff eventually discover the source of Aquila – a massive abandoned spaceship orbiting the Sun. They realise the significance of this, exclaiming "a battle cruiser! You could have some serious fun with a battle cruiser!".
