Hello,

This is what you get when you decide to employ “Professional peple”, who have probably spent a fortune on “market research” to justify any decision they may make, [common sense has no place].

that the RBL no longer wish to look back at conflicts of the Second World War and before but want to concentrate on present conflicts

As the poppy is associated with the WW1, I presume its day is numbered.

Hello,

It was circulated a bit back that the weeks lanc, or parts of, had been lent to a certain mr P. Jackson of New Zealand, to help out with the filming of a certain remake.

I wonder if an off shoot of this would be to give New Zealand its own flyable Lanc.

Would possibly explain some of the delay in filming.

Cheers

Hello,

As to any updates regarding the remake, the security in preventing leaks in regards to the real raid, is nothing compared to the lack of updates regarding filming of the remake!

Last I could find was this:

Hello,

As parts of this seemed to have been filmed in South Africa (the “ZS” registered helicopter landing at Wick in the first part was a give away), I can only presume the aircaft at the end were also South African.

Sequence went like this:

breifing at side of Lightning

Pilot straps into 2 seat Hunter (filmed from the side so it looked a single seater !)

Take off roll, shot of a Buccaneer front wheel.

Take off – Tornado F3

In flight Tornado F3. no use whatsoever against a ground target, especially armed with AIM 9 practise rounds!)

Abort – HUD shot of a low level run over the London Barrier (they should have used the Dambusters theme!)

Somebody should have told the film makers about LGBs, or Storm Shadow!

Funny, even the wife was laughing at the last bit!

cheers
