Robert Rudhall’s book lists:

RW382
SL574
TE311
TE356
TE384
TE476

(Would TE308 count since, technically, it was a low-back before conversion to Type 509?? :diablo: )

Does anybody know which low back airframes were used.

Not fit for flight but actually made of aluminiun.

Indeed.

I believe that, if you look closely at the aircraft in the film, the non-flyers can be identified by a lack of rudder trim tabs (although I could be wrong on that).

Thanks for the feedback.

So we concur, do we, no flyers ?

TE311 being one such aircraft – a good photo of it in the make-up department was in Robert Rudhall’s Battle of Britain film book.

My question is was the modification fit for flight, or static use only?

Static and taxiing. Never seen any photos of them under alteration so don’t know how the additions were actually attached.
