First Light Spitfires

……….in reality, I honestly don’t know:confused:

So long as it’s just a flesh wound…. 😀

Sorry Daz

If I tell you, I would then have to shoot you………..:p

Is the Buchon going to be used at all? It would be a crime if not!

Flying stuff to be done this week using real Spitfires.:)

In answer to trumper….

My guess is models/mock-ups and blue/green screen. Wouldn’t be too difficult. I mean, look at the cockpit footage shot for Dark Blue World – fantastic, yet done mostly on the back of a lorry with just a cockpit rig and a camera!

I’m trying to find the photos of this, but I’m failing miserably….! :rolleyes:

Will this be as good as Pearl Harbour?:D

I wonder how they will film the bit where he goes up to find a bomber and then gets fogged in,that is one of the best bits of the book,makes the heart skip a beat or more.
Be interesting to see how close they stick to the book.
Most of the book is not about the flying as such so i suspect the flying sequences will be kept to a minimum,it’ll be a ground based biopic i would think.

The possibility of a BBC production was mentioned a while back…..

I didn’t even know there was a movie in the making!!

No, nor me either. I’m not complaining though.

Not sure if the elevator is in the correct landing attitude. (Perhaps the experts can confirm) At least he has the canopy open to get out quick when he noses it in.

I aways said it would fly now heres the proof. 😀 Just noticed the mirror i spent hours on is missing !

Love the ‘clockwork’ Spit photo, nicely done 😀

Yup that’s our lot from Summer of 44 and yes there will be a memorial! Dave is keen to get it sorted.
Everyone was mailed about this some months ago, but you know how these luvvies are!

I shall tell Mr B re his tache! I’m sure he’ll be overjoyed!

K

I know three of those in the photograph – I was approached as well, and was told they were going to ‘get back to me’ about dates…. still haven’t heard anything!

Join the club!

I think you misread me, you jogged my memory that’s all.

I know,I was being sarky, I only live 10miles from the place…. more is made of his association with the drome than the unit that was stationed there, 51 OTU
for which there is no proper ‘unit’ memorial.

Did anyone get a pic of the spit on the fryin pan dispersal?

what! No Glenn miller???? :rolleyes: tell lofty Mr B he looks like Hitler in that photo ;)……

Of course, this is where Glenn Miller departed from when his aircraft disapeared
