Didn’t 242 Sqn have a couple of RN pilots..?

Maybe; but it did actually happen during the Battle-of-Britain.

re;

I’m surprised they never put a legless pilot in the story.

Is the “they are sending a couple in from the Fleet air arm” an in joke?

Olivier was rejected for the RAF, and joined the FAA

“…we won’t listen.”

No, I was never quite sure about that last bit; don’t know why.

“And even then……”

“Don’t think! Don’t just glance! LOOK! Search for the *******s!”

“Good afternoon my ****!”

And my personal favourite:

“If you think we’re going to gamble on Herr Hitler’s guarantees, you’re making a grave mistake. All those years in England seems to have left you none the wiser. We’re not easily frightened. Also we know how hard it is for an army to cross the Channel. The last little Corporal who tried it came a cropper! So don’t threaten or dictate to us until you’re marching up Whitehall…”

How about a list of Battle of Britain film quotes that `should` have got in the film.

Park to Leigh Mallory

“It takes too bloody long for your Big Wing to form up. Flt Lt Cattermole of Hornet Squadron shot down more jerries on his own yesterday than all your boys put together”

Moggy;)

Not much choice on that list

And anyway they managed to get it wrong. It is actually as Matt suggests “Don’t you yell at me, Mr Warwick!”

Because I spend much time in flying clubs around the UK and Europe I always favour anything culled from this exchange

It’s not a bad little field.
I’ve seen it – damp tent and a nasty little shack full of dead flies.
Well at least you won’t have the Jerries visiting you.
I don’t blame ’em!

Seconded!

Oh goody another Facebook link that assumes everybody else is on Facebook and can see it. :rolleyes:

“Down there, Stukas!”

“Blimey! Aren’t they tiny!”

How about a list of Battle of Britain film quotes that `should` have got in the film.

I’ll start with,

“Oi, mind me suspenders!”

🙂

“Reserves?”
“None, they’re all up”.
“…That’s…what I’ve just told the Prime Minister”.

I know, but after the ‘Burma Saga’, I was rather hoping for something with relevance to the ‘Historic Aviation’, rather than the entertainment industry….! :diablo:

I believe the quote at the top of the poll should be “Don’t you yell at me Mr. Warwick”

:rolleyes:

‘One, the RAF is NOT a flying circus….’

(Yaaaaawn…):rolleyes:

You don’t have to join in! 😉

Your only supposed to blow the bl!!!!!!!!!

Ooops wrong film

(Yaaaaawn…):rolleyes:

I don’t do facebook but I’d start with these:

‘You can teach monkeys to fly better than that!’

‘…just follow me, unless you’re blind as well as deaf…..oh, gawd strewth!’

‘The engine’s overheating and so am I; we either stand-down or blow-up, which do you want?’

‘Like hell you are! They’re responsible for that mess, get ‘em to clear it up!’

re;

those are the ones off the top of my head, anyone is welcome to add to the list
