    The owner is quite entitled to ask what ever he likes, but to then fly half way round the planet using public airports and expect people to keep it quiet is a tad optimistic…

    Bit of an oxymoron.

    On Facebook it sounded like a flight was imminent and I was shocked by the surprise. Clearly, it would take more years getting her flying again than what has past since I first heard of their intentions.

    And it will.

    I dunno…there was a fair smattering of ages across the cast…at the start of the battle there were still many ‘regular’ RAF pilots in fighter command and some of these – especially the sqn/flight commanders were quite a bit older than most of the ‘A’ or ‘VR’ pilots

    So looking across some of the cast DOB’s…

    Michael Caine was approx 36 (not a lot of people know that :D) so not impossible for a sqn commander.
    Ian Mcshane was approx 26 so fairly young
    Edward Fox was 31
    James Cosmo (Jamie) was 20
    David Griffin was 25

    So only Jamie fits the bill.

    And, of course, in PoC the owner gets the chop, and then the dog.

    Best thing Fanny ever did

    Which made it so good. It was the writing.

    But, nothing wrong with doing another type of dog scene, if they do it right.

    POC still had characters looking rather old, but a step up from the pilots from BOB who all looked like they were entering their 40s by the end of October 1940.

    What was so good about P O C apart from the Deja-vu feeling that we had been there before with ‘Fighter Pilot’.
    After all that effort getting ‘Friston’ operational and having some real aircraft in the air it hardly has had a ‘repeat’ record like ‘Dads Army’; i wonder why.

    It was ‘so good’ because it’s been around for ages and people get connected to it, and naturally blast anything that might rock their fondations. What if someone actually tried to make something new? 😮

    POC was good because of the characters, not the actual action scenes (apart from the nice take off and landing scenes and low flying). They did it much better with First Light if you ask me, but concerning First Light, the script was just mediocre. POC had a very good scriptwriters.

    Combine those two and you might have something good.

    I welcome anything new. Can’t keep re-watching the same old. If it’s bad then it’s forgotten. If it’s good, it will be a new benchmark. And it’s about time.

    Andy, do you know who’s organising it? It would be really nice if people asked before they used photos marked “All rights reserved”.

    Perhaps they settled with a touch of Photoshop so it wouldn’t look exactly the same. LOL

    There are Spitfires buried in any place that sounds similar.

    We all know that.
