“MOOSE” of the Fighter Collection i’m sure was used in the film and flown by the late Hoof Proudfoot. I know Rob Lamploughs Miss Hellen was going to be used in the film but was dropped at the last min but at least it got her back in the air quicker.

Hoof Proudfoot…. aerial unit mustang pilot
Mark Hanna …. aerial unit mustang pilot

Slightly off track, but what happened to the B-26 rear end that was found in the woods at Earls Colne and was displayed at the now defunct Rebel Air Museum.

I think it is still on the airfield, one of the only parts that was kept.

Hi Mike
ahhhhhh haaaaaaa, now it all makes sense, we wondered about protection of the feed chute but its size did not seem to cover the area. we were quite sure it was part of the cheek gun area.

I think now we will get someone confirm.
