    Didnt another B17 coming to the UK rumour get started by the commentators at Shuttleworth last year during Sally B’s display? Think it was the military pageant

    Good to see the Fury coming along. Do the cockpit fixtures need altering when a different engine is fitted? Also wondered about this with the Merlin / DB interchangeable 109?

    Saw it at the Science museum last night at the IMAX. Really enjoyed the film (well not sure enjoyed is the right word, it’s not a fun film). That said, given the attention to detail, slightly surprised by a couple of things. The rotary fuel selector valve Tom Hardy kept playing with, isn’t that actually the carb / cylinder selector valve for the primer? (and wired to cylinder position permanently according to all Mk1 manuals I’ve seen. The book on P9374 seems to suggest this too.) Weren’t the fuel cocks 2 separate levers next to the control column?

    Evacuated soldiers boarding 1950s BR Mk1 carriages with British railways liveries, and 1970s refurbed interiors… They may have gotten away with the interior shots if it was corridor stock rather than open. I know Swanage is near Weymouth but a quick trip to the Bluebell would have given them appropriate stock and would have equally have passed for ‘Woking’

    Yet to make my mind up on whether Zimmer’s score added to the film or was too much. Don’t know what the normal cinema release is like, but in the IMAX it is loud!
