That should maybe read “decent big budget flying film”. I can only think of one big budget flying film that actually made its money back at the box office – and let’s not go there!!!
The Blue Max was a big commercial success and made money at the box office. Still has its inaccuracy with some of the A/c but at least it uses real aeroplanes. It can be done and there is a place for CGI but you need to use it in conjunction with the real thing.
Hi, Iām trying to find a supplier or manufacturer of vinyl roundels who could produce a couple of early Rhodesian Air Force style roundels. Has anyone had anything similar manufactured before? Any pointers very welcome.
Thanks
You could also try Airdale Aviation, they specialise in aviation graphics. Currently doing some stuff for our BE2.
Modern light aircraft and smaller film kit can achieve even longer flights with less problems http://www.pipistrel.si/extras/extreme-flights/matevz-lenarcic-flew-around-the-world-and-set-a-world-record
She really struggled on that Stearman flight and took on big challenge which at times was not safe and could only be attempted by use of the push on regardless attitude. I admire her bravery and feel that her almost fatalistic view is not a good example for how to assess risks but YMMV.
Isn’t that the point!!
However what didn’t come across in the program was that she wasn’t on her own, she had someone in the front cockpit, clear seen in many shots, and she also had a huge pack up team including a Cessna Caravan flying alongside her all the way.
Shame the prog didn’t make more of the team effort rather than trying to make out she was flying alone through Africa.
Wanted. A copy of the Haynes Workshop manual for the Bf.109 and any leads to documentation which would assist in the restoration to flying condition of the type with Merlin engine, ex Battle of Britain film, recently secured from the Edwards Collection in the USA.

Hmm, my understanding is that it actually lives on a private strip at Rednal.
It certainly used to, I have seen it there myself.

Lived at Rednal for awhile after the owner purchased it but has been at Sleap for several years now after the owner constructed a hangar to house it and his other aircraft.
Is there much difference between the British Harvard and the US Harvard?
I think you will find both of those are actually T6’s, which were re manufactured Harvards by North American in the 50s. Quite different in many ways to Wartime Harvards. Especially in terms of hydraulic systems .
