The ultimate Warbird/aircraft Movie list site

mmmmm all ex-Swiss or Austrian AF i think, 🙁

🙁

Never So Few – I knew I’d heard of it before – it’s got Steve McQueen in it.

REAL THING…. AAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!

Not heard of that one before Olivier…yes the site is out of date but its a pretty good stab at a decent list….still think the Firefox site is fab…

Re: Where Eagles Dare, used to be one of my favourite war movies, then i bought a Texan…now I cant watch the final reel unless I hide behind my sofa with a comfort blanket…those poor sixes…… 🙁

Were they the real thing then? I always assumed they were mock-ups.

Very nice thread TEXANTOMCAT,

I have a question about this movie :

Never So Few
1959 v
USAAF- F. Sinatra; Commando raid on Japanese air base (?). Used actual flying Ontario Air Museum Hayate (or Frank?) plus static Zeke.

Did really Frank set fire to this aircraft ?

cheers,

Olivier

The Blue Max……..

Is listed.

The Blue Max……..

Nice link John. But it doesn’t have advertisements with the Bell 47. There was a famous one made in New Zealand featuring an RNZAF Sioux that won international awards and still crops up on some of those advert compilation shows. It was made in the 1970’s for B.A.S.F. audio cassettes, and was set in the Korean War, MASH style. A chap gets a package from home, a cassette, which has his missus on it singing a ‘Dear John’ letter song to him. At the end, where’s he’s devastated by it, his mate who liked the tune says “Play it again John!”. A classic.

Where Eagles Dare

Distinctly dodgy Luftwaffe Bell 47

For the best one type movie list I’ve seen, check out Prof. Charles Lumsden’s excellent Bell 47 site from the Univ. of Toronto….

It has everything from TV (Whirlybirds) to films (various Bond epics as well as MASH and a lot of things you’ve never heard of, let alone seen)…to music videos to Album covers (Abba’s “Arrival”).

Cheers to all helicopter fans… 😀

Where Eagles Dare

Lovely opening shot of JU52

Distinctly dodgy Luftwaffe Bell 47

A lot of T6 getting totalled by a bus.

My favourite bit is when they have just paradropped and are trudging through the snow on their way to the Schloss Adler. Watch the foldable stocks on their SMG. The continuity girlie obviously missed them and they are extended or folded at random from shot to shot.

Where Eagles Dare and and Forever Young and First of the Few missing too.

Is that list not quite out of date? I don’t see The Tuskeegee Airmen on there, either.

At a quick glance, I can not see Pearl Harbour, crap film but a lot of aviation content.
Plus Dark Blue World, now this one I do like…

Wessex, oh dear….

Steve – still waiting!

No mention of ‘Gunbus’, TT!

My Father instructed me to record ‘Insomnia’ when it premiered on Sky for the Beech 18 floatplane in the opening sequence….Mum said he fell asleep after that……

Bah! I thought the Firefox site was cool though!

TT

This is so comprehensive its frightening – have a look and see!

TT

Useless site!

Where’s the write up on ‘The Secret War of Jackies Girls’ as discussed here:

Excellent!

Thanks, TEXANTOMCAT.
