If I’m stupid enough, or want to run the risk of speeding through a certain limit area, then I should run the risk of getting a fine.
You saying your truck could break the speed limit??!:p

Daz, somehow I locked that site and this one together (I must have been tired:o)
did the original Me108 site work?
I guess MH434 didn’t fly in the film as I appear to have woken up Mark12!:D

Guessed I was talking tosh

Yes, that didn’t ring very likely, either, unless he had been wounded and off ops for along time.

May have been a SNCO pilot during the Battle, then commissioned later in the war?

Four Spitfires were used in the strafing sequence. They were all ex-Belgian target tugs and all were MK9’s. The serial no.s were MH415, MK297, MK923 and MH434 and all are still extant. The Spitfires were assembled and co-ordinated by former free French Spitfire pilot Pierre Laureys who flew with 340 Squadron, a free French unit in the RAF. The 4 Spitfires were of course re-painted in 340 Squadron markings. Spitfire MK923 was between 1963 and 1998 owned by film actor and Oscar winner Cliff Robertson.

I wonder if the 410 might be hit as looking at the photo, the tailwheel doors are open and the wheel is partially out. (hydraulics?)
Any Me410 experts out there?

The Spanish had both 108s and ‘109s’

Apparently:
One of producer Darryl F. Zanuck’s big worries was that, as filming of the actual invasion drew near, he couldn’t find any working German Messerschmitts, which strafed the beach, or British Spitfires, which chased them away. He finally found two Messerschmitts that were being used by the Spanish Air Force, and two Spitfires that were still on active duty with the Belgian Air Force, and rented all four of them for the invasion scenes.

Looking at the PAPIs, was his approach a little on the low side anyway? A microburst would have pushed him into the ground a bit quicker?
