Well yesterday we watched Bee Movie. It was meant for matthew to watch but to be honest these films are too good for just kids. Absolutely brilliant with lots of adult humour,not naughty just stuff that kids won’t get. And of course there’s flying in it,including a bed powered 747!

Fantastic,I want one! Actually to be honest I wouldn’t have the guts to fly it,not even been in a plane,but that does look fun!

Great photos! Funny thing is i’m from wolverhampton but i’ve never been to Ha’penny green and not even sure where it is exactly!

Hmmm,add that to the ‘Which Aircraft Would You Like to Own if You Had an Infinite Budget?’ thread 😉

If you can get hold of a copy a good source is RAF Bomber Command in fact film and fiction.

OK, OK I’ve just seen them….book info still applicable though!
Sorry folks, got carried away.

Hmm, I wonder if one could find a copy of that on Bookmooch!

I’m sure my mum told me of a story how years ago a film with Kenneth Conor was partially filmed near our house,obviously before I was born. She lived in wolverhampton and there was an airtstrip there, and the villagers were used as extras. Also there was a factory nearby that was called Dowty I think(now BP) that was set up for the production of certain Spitfire and Hurricane parts.
