german fighter in the movie sahara (1943)

off the top of my head – Lulubelle

but I’ve been wrong before

Isn’t the M3 Lee used in the remake now in the Canadian War Museum’s new building?

yep, you got it

However – your McClure tip got me to 1973 movie ‘Death Race’

Plot Outline: In the North African desert in World War II, a damaged American fighter plane that is unable to take off tries to evade and destroy a pursuing Nazi tank.

Suzzies

If its American grammar or suspenders – I’m with Moggy on the latter far more interesting subject. Woooof Woooof!

No way is she a budding Nora Batty. Phooooaaaar! 😀

Hairy

Can we get back onto suspenders??

I may be forced to moderate myself but …

Natalie Wood in the Great Race? (Which fortunately featured Historic Aviation)

Surely, if Doug McLure was in a movie it would be called ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth?

Name that film

P40 being chased across the desert leaking coolant? Er…Can’t remember the title but do I get a prize for remembering that the pilot was good old clean cut ‘you couldn’t possibly kill this bloke because he is so nice’ Doug McClure? Boy has he starred in some naff movies – Journey to the Centre of the Earth to name but one. I seem to remember that the film in question was naff too?!

Can we get back onto suspenders??

Hehe, this could be a whole new thread!

Here’s a good one then……
The 4 engined prop airliner in the Gergory Peck / Audrey Hepburn classic “Roman Holiday” ?

OK, here’s another one.

Anyone recall a made-for-TV movie from a good few years back that featured a German tank chasing a damaged / unflyable P40 across the Western Desert?

a bit of a test, what was the name of the tank?

off the top of my head – Lulubelle

There was a pic of the “Messerstang” in one of Flypast’s mags a few years ago – I remember it well as the shot showed that only the underside of the starboard wing had a German cross on it…!

It’s a M3 Lee isn’t it?

In the remake of the film the fighter was played by Guido and Lynn Zuccholi’s Fiat G-59B

I always did enjoy that film

liked the opening scenes where they are getting shelled…… It is out on DVD

a bit of a test, what was the name of the tank?

An early-model N.A. P-51 Mustang.
