Forum Battle of Britain remake

Steve, there are a couple for sale on eBay – albeit in 1/72 scale! :diablo:

As I am unlikely to ever fly a Spitfire …

What a crock of ****! You’ll probably have a matching pair, long before I get the chance.

If nobody mind, I’d like to fly the “Psychedelic Monster” as long as the cute girl with the short skirt occupies the rear turret 😀 😀 😀 :diablo: Besides, I’d have “Jeff” Hawke in the left seat scaring everybody (me included) s**tless 😮 😮

I’ll be the production archivist, noting the film serial number, code letters & any other markings (badges etc.) and the true serial number of each aircraft in every scene, and also taking photographs of all the aircraft from all angles, so that in future years people will be able to identify every aircraft in every scene, in the secure knowledge that no-one will be interested in such things thirty odd years later.

BTW some of the jokes on this thread are amaizeing.

Geoff.

Well now that Voy Tech has at last grabbed ‘repeat please’ there can surely be very little left, that is except for our female lead.

Unless one of our ‘female forum gals’ is going to step forward, and Eddie Izzard is too busy learning to fly the Spitfire, we need a volunteer.

Moggy – do your duty. 🙂

Mark

I nominate Ashley for this, sorry Becca but you knew someone would I’m sure

I suppose I could be an extra in a pub – any pub.
I’m quite good at drinking. 🙂

It’s a drag.

I’m feeling quite left out here. I haven’t seen it for a few years, and although having a tape somewhere, sat down to watch it on Ch5 the other week.
As it started the ‘phone rang and I spent all apart from the last few minutes sorting problems out.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Hmmm, being the forum´s hun, I think to take over the (Galland-)part:

Goering: “How can I help you?”
Galland (Falke maybe? They look all the same):”Give me a couple of Spitfires!”

In view of the above discussion, the title of the remake shoud probably be:
Battle of Britain – the Hay-day of the RAF

It goes without saying which part is mine: Repeat, please! Good Aft-Er-Nun! i tak dalej.

Spot on, Moggy C, unlikely to have been baled until the 1950s. See also the tramlines in the cornfields in “Memphis Belle”… 😀

I think further discussion on this point is wildly off-topic, even for this forum!

Adrian (peasant pedant)

Oh! sorry, I missed the point there. Yes that is very true, I know that balers did exist at that time but there were not many about. I’m ashamed of mysef, all the times I’ve watched the film and not noticed that(which is unusual as I have a habit of picking up mistakes).

I would be more then happy to be the photographer. Just strap me in the back of an open B-25 and bring it on. I learn from other’s mistakes. Sunrise over the Cliffs of Dover with a Spit and Me109 dueling it out. Bring it on !

Eric

Or you can put me down for the home guard, in the scene where they stop at the pub. That would be great to meet and drink a pint with all of you. 🙂

Also, you can put me down for the Stuka rear gunner, when attacking the radar sets shouting, SPITFIRES!!!!

Someone’s gonna have to draw the short straw and get a new joke book… :rolleyes:

It’s all getting a bit ‘corny’ now.

Don’t just stand there……..get one up.

Trying to find a ‘new’ straw related joke is like trying to find a needle in a
haystack! Ill get my coat!

Sorry! That role has been taken by a woman named Ms G. Greer :diablo: , I fancy the role of WO Warwick if its not taken ‘Put that cigarette out! the mains have gone, can’t you smell gas?! :p

Can I bomb Duxford and shoot at Spitfires???? Please can I, I won’t be any trouble honest!!!!

Pick me, Pick me!

As I am unlikely to ever fly a Spitfire I suppose I could volunteer to drive one of the wooden taxing replicas and remember to pull the ‘retract gear/ prop fall-off ‘handle at the right time.

Bar room banter afterwards?? Look, I know I would be right in the cross hairs for a mega @iss-take from the proper pilots but having been insulted by experts over the years I can cope.
