…and it was rather bloody good!
A nice, good old-fashioned sci-fi action-adventure, like they used to make! ๐
(and I didn’t even find Simon Pegg annoying…!)
Did you spot the Sea Vixen overflying Vulcan (the planet:rolleyes:) near the beginning?
good film:)
What a good idea! Then you could at last afford a desk made from wreckage of a Lancaster!:diablo::diablo::diablo:

It’s the ‘nanny state’ that you’ve heard about in just about any area you care to look at in our drab little lives over here in UK. We are simply too regulated.
Sorry folks, I’m getting very cynical in my old age… please somebody present me with something – any fact at all – that will counteract this!
As I read this thread, in the background the TV ads were urging me to contact them if I have had a slip or a fall recently and to gain compensation.
These ads are on every few minutes, all channels, all day.
Last year I had a coach load of visitors at my little museum and one failed to negotiate a curb and fell in a heap. Although she dusted herself off and appeared embarrassed by the whole thing, I overheard another person advising her to sue!! This same person went on to take photographs not of the exhibits but the path and curbs.
I closed the museum permanently soon after and barred people from the garden.
To answer you, no I cannot give you any facts to counter this.:(
Back on topic, never saw it flying, it didn’t reach Cornwall.:(

A shame indeed.
The last film I remember him being in was Hot Fuzz, where he played the local Neighbourhood Watch CCTV operator.
……before long, we’ll be up to our balls in jugglers!…………:D

He does all his own stunts!

I agree, but where are the films in which British forces succeed?
Name me a single film made since โThe Battle of Britainโ (film) that portrays a major British military operation that went well.
‘When the wind blows’…..no maybe not……’Oh,what a lovely war’…mmmm……’the English patient’…nope….ahhh..’A bridge too far’…no…’Last of the Mohicans’..er,no….’Braveheart’..no,sorry that was a comedy…..tough one this….yes!….no……..got it!….’Master and Commander’??:p
How about the 10 Fairey Battle Squadrons sent out to France from September 1939 to the evacuation at Dunkirk. Loads of stuff here. 2 VCs won, first aerial victory of the war against the hun (Bf109), unescorted missions on ground targets and bridges, annihalation by superior force (and tactics) in obsolete slow single engined bombers. 99 aircraft lost or destroyed in this period.
Don’t think a film has been made about these boys.
How many surviving Battles are there?
Anyway, there’s a good story here to tell.

‘Hitler, my part in his downfall’ by Spike Milligan………….not a great deal of CGI needed if I’m honest!!:D
Does anyone know of an electric RC model Lancaster – preferably not very large scale?
This may be what your looking for, but you will have to dig a bit to get the manufacturer………….

Why don’t they revamp the original ? Some decent cgi water spashes, tracer etc. Digitally remastered soundtrack and flying scenes. I’d buy it.:)
