Yes Flood
I saw the roundish canopy with the offset vent/signal window & thought Canberra cockpit, I fell asleep for most of the film it was that good

Anyone (who ignored RobAnts advice) notice a Canberra cockpit being used too?
I don’t recall that mentioned before…

“Where are they now?”
I believe most if not all of the cockpits were sold on to private collectors,although alot of other components,particularly wings were chopped up by Marine Salvage.One cockpit section was cut in half so as the film makers could get some close up interior shots and it was then welded back together!I think there was a feature in Flypast about the guy who owns it a few months ago…

What a waste……….Where are they now ?

It does pose the question though, with better CGI will less historic airframes or parts thereof, survive lurking in the back of film studio props/scenery departments ?

Yep,you’ve got the right movie and no I’m not watching it. I managed to see quite a bit of it when it was on a few months back and they seem to have done a great job with the limited budget they were working with.Sci-Fi isn’t really my thing,so I didn’t stick with it,but from what I saw it seems to be a decent flick.
