Nord 1002 G-ETME

Still, good to see her on the screen! 🙂

It’ll never happen, but I would love to see a new war film made “like the good old days” with a flight of ‘108s laying waste to an RAF airfield… 🙂

Ahh! Mystery solved! Many thanks! 🙂

I thought we’d gotten past using ‘108s as “baddies”? :diablo:

Still as cheap today as they’ve always been!!!

Just came across this photo on Airliners.net:

What are the two circular markings/apertures on the leading edge??

They are two black stickers applied for the filming of BBC “Land Girls”. I guess they are meant to look like gun ports while also giving the CGI guy a clue as to where to apply the muzzle flashes in post production!

skip to 3:40..

Watch out for the new series of Land Girls which is out in Jan. It not only has some great low level sequences with a Tiger Moth (OK Queen Bee) but also extensive use of the Aces High Dak N147DC..

They are fake cannons…. Painted to look like etc and not holes

I did wonder about both possibilities, but thought that the Nord had a landing/nav light under the port wing, hence my confusion!

I suspect that hampden98 may be right. I quick look at photos of other Pingouins – such as this http://www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1065893/ – show no similar features.

Holes for fake guns maybe?

Lights?

Prehaps it has previous forced landed on ‘Le Oxo Pétanque Pitch’
