With the current talk in the air of a remake of The Dambusters film could a remake of The Battle Of Britain be a serious possibility?
I’m working on it!

Aren’t the yanks making it – Eagle squadrons equiped with Raptors v the Red Baron flying an Me262!
With the Japanese giving top cover? 😀

Well I say “bring it on ” it’s about time we had a rematch…although in this politically correct society, it would have to be emphasized that the outcome was in fact a draw, and that Germany wasn’t hell bent on world domination, and that it (the war) was just an unfortunate series of events for them,with bad PR contributing to the misunderstanding; come to think about it, perhaps the original film might be the best option, plus you’d never get planning permission to build that chateau at Duxford, nowadays,(unless it had 24hr services that is).

Judging by recent posts on this topic and The Dam Busters remake…
(using ‘proper’ Engilsh shouldn’t it be The Dam Breakers?…but I digress…)
Any project would have to be ethnically pure…only proper Ango-Saxons allowed….and all references to America banned.
Sounds a bit like the gang we were fighting against.

Surely it was done in Pearl Harbour with the RAF manned by American officers? :rolleyes:
I did think in 2000 what it would be like to re-create the Battle of Britain in a small scale, replicating the events perhaps of a significant day. Sadly there are not enough Luftwaffe aircraft available 🙁

They’ve already done it, as far as I’m concerned, although it’s not strictly all about the BofB. A small film called Dark Blue World….

Great idea….. We could get rid of all the Spits and Hurris and kit out the RAF with P51s and show the world how it really happened. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Hollywood history strikes again.
