I’m sure that ‘Blue Max’ will put us straight on it, as I suspect it was ‘Uncle’ David Boddington that built and flew the DC-3 model for Airline.
He also built the BE-2 and Fokker models that were used in the BBC series ‘Wings’ – remember that?
All I’ve seen are some short exerpts, including the opening credits. These feature the models intermixed with the BE-2c replica, heading stage left off the runway on full right rudder, in an incipient ground loop, no doubt after hitting the camera helicopter’s rotor wash!
Certainly did, and not from an Inwoods plan!!!!! think he might have you shot for that!!! They were DB designs built at The DB Models Factory in Irchester Northants, i know, i was there with me dope brush and spray can.
We also made a large scale Auster for the series as well as the DC3’s, six of them i think? not all survived the filming!!!!!!
Shame the second series got cancelled, York’s connies and all sorts were on the drawing board!
