Sounds like ‘porkies’ to me! On the 24th May, 1942, a seaplane from the I-21 reconnoitered Auckland. In November 1944, U-862 (German) entered New Zealand waters at North Cape and exited past South Cape. The Japanese submarines were an impressive asset for the time featuring the largest boats of the time. Of the 56 largest submarines in the world, 52 of them were Japanese. Some subs carried three aircraft for reconnaisance 😀

The events that most closely match your recollections are actually based on a real-life story which took place in 2002.

They have been dramatised for TV on a number of occasions, most notably on Emergency 999. I would imagine that you saw this.

Hi Trinny, Sorry, I think this is a red herring. My ‘film memory’ would be before 2002 and I am well familiar with your incident. In my film, the plane was flying north to south over central England over 3/10 clouds and I am sure it was fiction not reality. 🙂

Hi Janie, Thanks for your suggestion! 🙂 They suggested the IMDB, the international movie data base which I had already checked and the Time Out Film Guide, available in libraries and bookshops. The film should be listed under ‘Flying Dramas’. As at this moment in time I am unable to access either of the last two options, my quest must remain in limbo unless someone has access to the said book? 😉

Very lucky escape for all involved!?

It is ironic that one of the passengers, Gerhard Huber is the manager for one of the most successful helicopter companies in Austria.

I will qualify my statement by saying that the Leopard should be the first of the new line of VLJ’s which predominately use Williams engines.

Anyway, if you are in the market for a ‘new ‘ Paris, the site is:

You have a good point there Kenneth! Especially as the U.S. has just bought 30 used Paris’s from France to refurbish and sell in the U.S. 😉

Now where is that English fleugzeug.de page that everyone is looking for :confused: :dev2:

Very lucky indeed.

How did the Islander get in the house upside down??? :confused:

The newspaper reported that the plane ‘nosedived’ into the house :rolleyes:

Lot of luck all round! The pilot had a broken leg. After removal of the wreckage. the plane got stuck under a bridge on the M.4 on its way to Virginia Airport. The owner of the house is said to have told the passengers that he was sorry he wasn’t in when they called! 😀

Spelling looks good! There was a Ben Lockspeiser who was the Minister of Aircraft production in the war and a David Lockspeiser was a member of 118 Squadron, R.A.F. in 1951.

At the risk of hijacking my own thread, if I had one book on my desert island, it would be Gavin Lyall, ‘Shooting Script’. An action book involving a Dove, Vampires and B.25. The second choice would the ‘The Last Hostage’ by J.J.Nance, an American aviation writer of quality and this one involves a commercial hijack or does it? 🙂

Anyway diversion over, back to my film, light plane over the U.K. to be landed by a passenger, sounds like the Talk Down book, but what is the title of the film? :confused:
