Hi Folks,

Daz,
Contentiously I think that Dark Blue World is probably the best film about the B of B to date. Seen on the big screen some of the formation out-takes from B of B are quite breathtaking. And it is of course the perfect antidote to Pearl Harbour.

Piece of Cake would have been so much better if it had followed the same route and used more out-takes, and there is plenty of Hurricane footage as well so it could have been even better still. Such a missed opportunity.

Septic,
Judging by the scale of that model ie bigger than 1/8th, I would say that it is the pre-production Hurricane re-painted although I could be wrong. I had though only seen it in a DB? scheme before. So it’s probably not test footage seen in the film when it explodes.

Robbo,
Didn’t know about Mick Charles, that’s a shame. That’s an interesting photo on the website of what is probably the same model Hurricane.

All the best,

Steve
