I was an aircraft engineer on the B of B film in 1968/9 and after working with ‘Tubby’ Simpson on the Spitfires and Hurricanes I was assigned to the Spanish team and was personal engineer to ‘Connie’ Edwards and his Messerschmitt who did most of the special effects flying.
After the film was finished I was the flight engineer for the two remaining Heinkel bombers and flew them from Bovingdon to West Malling in Kent. I still have the preflight checklist for the Heinkel that was badly translated from Spanish. Now I am trying to find the whereabouts of the planes. If anybody can help I would be much obliged if you could contact me at [email]john@jhwebb.co.uk[/email].
