Isn’t the M3 Lee used in the remake now in the Canadian War Museum’s new building?

However – your McClure tip got me to 1973 movie ‘Death Race’
Plot Outline: In the North African desert in World War II, a damaged American fighter plane that is unable to take off tries to evade and destroy a pursuing Nazi tank.

If its American grammar or suspenders – I’m with Moggy on the latter far more interesting subject. Woooof Woooof!
No way is she a budding Nora Batty. Phooooaaaar! 😀

I may be forced to moderate myself but …
Natalie Wood in the Great Race? (Which fortunately featured Historic Aviation)

Surely, if Doug McLure was in a movie it would be called ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth?

Name that film
P40 being chased across the desert leaking coolant? Er…Can’t remember the title but do I get a prize for remembering that the pilot was good old clean cut ‘you couldn’t possibly kill this bloke because he is so nice’ Doug McClure? Boy has he starred in some naff movies – Journey to the Centre of the Earth to name but one. I seem to remember that the film in question was naff too?!

Hehe, this could be a whole new thread!

Here’s a good one then……
The 4 engined prop airliner in the Gergory Peck / Audrey Hepburn classic “Roman Holiday” ?

OK, here’s another one.
Anyone recall a made-for-TV movie from a good few years back that featured a German tank chasing a damaged / unflyable P40 across the Western Desert?

a bit of a test, what was the name of the tank?

There was a pic of the “Messerstang” in one of Flypast’s mags a few years ago – I remember it well as the shot showed that only the underside of the starboard wing had a German cross on it…!

It’s a M3 Lee isn’t it?
In the remake of the film the fighter was played by Guido and Lynn Zuccholi’s Fiat G-59B
By: philip turland - 20th March 2006 at 10:25
I always did enjoy that film
liked the opening scenes where they are getting shelled…… It is out on DVD
a bit of a test, what was the name of the tank?

An early-model N.A. P-51 Mustang.
