Hi All,
One of the few, – The quote below from the 54Sqn wiki page:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._54_Squadron_RAF

“The Squadron was reformed at RAF Hornchurch on 15 January 1930 as a fighter squadron equipped initially with dual-control
Siskin Trainers until Bristol Bulldog fighters were received in April that year. The squadron had a brief stay at RAF Upavon in 1931, prior to
returning to RAF Hornchurch. The Bulldogs were replaced by Gloster Gauntlets, in September 1936 and Gladiators in April 1937, before the
Squadron’s first monoplane, the Supermarine Spitfire, arrived in March 1939.“

If you need anymore info why not try here:- “A Supermarine-produced document held in the Cambridge University Vickers archives (MS541)”
this comes from this web site:-http://www.airhistory.org.uk/spitfire/home.html

Failing any of the above Mk12 (Peter aka Mr Spitfire) would be more ably suit to help you out I am certain…:eagerness:

Hi All,
Tangmere1940 Such a sad loss of life a decent chap doing his bit in recovering lost airmen from their discovered resting places in many oceans.

Seems to be a related dive for missing airmen as both ‘Project Recover and Bentprop’ are doing this together, so you can only assume they know the
full background story of why he was diving on a particular wreck. Perhaps you have a better chance than most by contacting either group direct being
as you are in the business so to speak.

This from the ‘Project Recover’ facebook page:- https://www.facebook.com/pg/ProjRecover/about/?ref=page_internal

Their web page for contact details and anybody interested:-https://scripps.ucsd.edu/projects/projectrecover/

Hi All,
Tont T
Good post matey only trouble is that some on here may politicize it as being whatever because it offends them which is complete and utter rubbish,
It does not matter one jot who is selling them they are as Alan writ thought provoking people should either like or not like it’s that simple.

From MOPO thank you for the link matey and take no notice of any naysayers….;)

Hi All,
Jeepman,John Terrel,vultee35

Many thanks all for posting those videos my only nag was against those pesky ‘Harvard’s’ trying to get in on the act farting away what appears to be
underneath them ? 😀 Would that be the take-off’s for the next formation ? Would have been nice to see and hear both ‘B-29’s’ in a flyby together
in close formation, was the distance a safety thing anybody ?

I must say ‘JT’ your video sounded lovely and it was just perfect without the ‘Harvard’ engine noise, and the footage from inside ‘Doc’ was just lovely.

Again many thanks for posting well done all three…..:applause:

Hi All,
The only trouble with the community orders are:- These days the YOOF!! think they are a joke, many do not attend even if threatened with
imprisonment when they don’t. On top of that they see imprisonment as a badge of honour :stupid:

I know from personal experience about 20yr’s ago how some of these retards mind set works suffice to say he who threatened me with the words
‘I’ve been to prison you know’ expecting me to I don’t know what…:stupid: What hope is there for society when imprisonment is a joke with many
preferring it to the life outside, very sad…:apologetic:

Hi All,
Overall then it seems for the most the audience has enjoyed the experience and can forgive any inaccuracies with the film which now makes me more
eager than ever want to see it on the small screen. As to the various comments in particular concerning inaccuracies and technical faults with various
shots that could have been improved well couldn’t all films have that said about them ?

I will add though some of the mentioned critique has a point and perhaps ‘Mr Nolan’ either ignored any advisors or never gave it a thought even after
the film wrapped…?

Anyway we are all individuals and as such all have individual personal points of view and opinions about this film and many other things. I would say
to those who have seen the film well done for going out and supporting the cinemas and to those who have not watched the film never mind what some
on here have said go and make your own mind up you’ll either like it or not simple!…;)

For those of us interested in the facts of the filming here below is what wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkirk_(2017_film) has to say regards the empty beaches at least:-

“Six thousand extras were used amidst the filming in France.[60][61] Avoiding the use of computer-generated imagery (CGI), cardboard
cut-out props of soldiers and military vehicles were employed to create the illusion of a large army.[59][60] Nolan investigated silent films
to influence crowd scenes with suspense using only details because of the minuscule presence of dialogue in the film”

Here is a video which I watched last night on the above subject an although the narrators uses the term lied I pay no attention knowing that the film
I will see I will judge upon viewing and it will not alter my eagerness to see the film one bit..;)

Plenty view here:-
