Today i had 3 people come over to try on my heritage flightgear from Korean War era. They have some time reading up and getting a background feel for their trailer movie idea and hopefully in future a full length movie.
Both the actors tried on assorted bits of my flightgear collection such as K-1 and K-2A flight suits, backpack parachute, B-5 and a P-1A flight helmet with MS22001 oxygen mask.
Both were amazed at how heavy the flightgear was. We aim to use a Australian F-86 Sabre jet as a backdrop if filming goes ahead pending discussions and funding being found for the movie idea.

That is correct i pointed that out in the discussions. The CG and special effects people will need to overhaul any RAAF CAC Mk 30/32 Sabre a fair bit to give it a USAF F-86E/F look for any such movie.
At least the movie project is started – well has been for a few years underway in a planning stage – and the actors got a feel for what their role may wear. We have discussed a short trailer which will try and reflect the Korean war “scramble” mission and develop it from there if further funding comes into a full movie with action and reflect the true horror of war.
The RAAF 77Sqn which was co-located with tenant USAF units in Korea, may even appear with their Meteors in the movie (or the RAAF view of the war in Korea could end up being a separate movie someone is wishing to film i have heard).

Don’t forget to photoshop the single 30mm Aden cannon in each side to 3 x .50 browning MGs.
