Here's a funny for you all.

The ‘aviation’ bits were from Temora, NSW (the flying Spitfire shot) and Queensland Air Museum, the ground Spitfire shots – a full size replica / model Spitfire.

There’s at least one QAM member here – I’ll see what he knows, but there was clearly some Australian input. 😮 Oh dear.

A full-scale static MkI replica in 19 Sqdn markings, complete with two-blade prop, to be exact. It was for sale a while back.

This film ought to go into the ‘Movies That Scared You’ thread over on General Discussion! Frightened the willies out of me watching it as it’s horrifyingly bad!

Mildly amusing, good to see the yanks getting the “We won” quote into the mixer!!

Sure you don’t mean DRINKING a Spitfire? 😀

Ohhh, that’s what it was… 😮 😀

Hey, don’t knock it. This kind of scenario happened to me last week. I was flying a Spitfire on patrol over France, and suddenly ended up 60+ years later in my bed. What a strange thing… :rolleyes:

The US officer is fun too…

I pretty much doubt you have a USN base in North Dakota, so, why is the guy wearing a white uniform ???

And as far as I know, the USN also doesn’t have colonels, but commanders … 😀

A US Navy Captain will wear the same insignia on his shoulders as a Colonel. A commander will have Lt/Colonel.

You too?? 😮

Nearly as bad as “Air Rage”. Worst ever!

“Keep a heading of 560 degrees…”

“No, don’t lower the flaps until we’ve landed!”

Ugh.

Thats why its so stupidly funny. For a short film for a highschool filmstudies class its a good plot and such, but for anything other than that the sheer inaccuracies are astounding. It’s as if they got given the facts, then deliberatly tried to go out of their way to make them incorrect!

Worst. English. Accent. Ever…

Please close this thread 😀 Seven minutes too long (the film). :diablo:

Shoot him, he’s lying.

No such rank as Lieutenant (or even loo-tenant) in the RAF

Term ‘Flying Saucers’ invented in 1947, he’d never have used the phrase.

And that accent?

Not wrong there! The Spit was also an RAAF marked one, and that Spitfire must have had some very big long range fuel tanks for a 1200+ mile round trip 😮

Mildly amusing, pity about the wretched dialogue. I see that the film crew included a trouser presser! When I was in the mob I had to press my own trousers (except in Bahrain, where we had Indian “batmen” to do that kind of thing, but I digress).

A Lieutenant in the RAF?? 56th Royal Squadron??? Border patrol over the north Sea ? And the ‘light’ changed the aircraft codes as well !

Funny but thankfully short.
