Hanover Street B25s to the UK

I was lucky enough to Be @ Bovingdon when The B25’s Arrived, & was present while The Airfield Set was Prepared, The 5 B25’s Then Seemed to Become One 🙂 Didn’t get to See or Meet Harrison Ford or Christopher Plummer, But did meet Eddie Kidd who done the Bike Stunt in the film, as he Lived Near Bovingdon @ The Time, on The Last Day of Filming @ Bovingdon, The Director Said he was Short of a Rear Gunner, My Brother Peter Buck Volunteered & Became a Rear Gunner for the Day, Something that he Still Talks about with a Big Grin…. Jon Buck near Bovingdon Airfield 🙂

One of the best aircraft documentaries ever made, I believe, and far more interesting than the rather cheesy film which triggered the ferry flight over the Atlantic.

After all the effort, the final edit used very little flying footage, and not a single takeoff, or landing (For that experience , you really need to see the famous ‘Catch 22 ‘ fourteen aeroplane mass B25 departure)

This pops up on Youtube from time to time, and then someone has it taken down again.

As long as nobody posts the name of the production on this, or other threads, the YT link might remain undiscovered for a little while yet , though the H.S reference may already have flagged it up .

I think Glenn Miller’s gone missing too…
