A yes, sorry, I was paraphrasing a bit in reply to Geoff’s language. 🙂
The best bit is Michael Bates’ indifferent reaction. He was a master actor. On the DVD with the other soundtrack, the scene has far less impact. Music maketh the film. Why was there another soundtrack scroed by the way? Was the Walton one first and considered not good enough?
Exactly and apparently Ron Goodwin only agreed to do the score if they retained Walton’s Spitfire Prelude and Fugue

Meanwhile, on a mission out of Deenthorpe somewhere over mainland Europe, a B17G flies through heavy flak, late ’44:
Tail gunner, “I’m hit!”
Pilot to tail gunner, “Where’re you hit?”
Tail gunner: “In the ass!”
Pilot to tail gunner, “Don’t worry. It can’t hurt you there!”
(actual conversation my dad had with his tail gunner)

My favourite phrase:
“we know how hard it is to get an army across the channel, the last little Corporal who tried it came a cropper”
“Dont threaten or dictate to us until you are marching up Whitehall, and even then we wont listen”
Wonderful stuff!
