Thanks for posting these, what a fascinating cross-section of Sweden’s aviation heritage. The SwAF museum in particular looks stunning, I can think of one of two national museums in the UK which could learn from the presentation and condition of artefacts there!

I saw it and left with mixed opinions. To me the biggest issue with the film is its attempts to introduce jokes and general light-heartedness. Being a child of the 1990s, I have no idea whether these were genuinely funny at the time of the film’s release, but they age it badly when looking through 21st-century eyes.
In its more serious moments, I thought the acting was pretty reasonable, with the mutual distrust and emnity between Trevor Howard’s and Jose Ferrer’s characters being quite well-portayed.

The equipment and vehicle innacuracies,
to me, are rather minor and hardly detract from the film’s general spirit.

Does anyone know which WW2-era submarine was used for the scenes on the journey and at the drop-off?

Happy birthday to our neighbourhood Battle of Britain pilot!

What a survivor! Can’t wait to see this rise from the ashes…

Hmm, there looks to be money in this “rumours of buried Spitfires” lark- the papers are lapping it up every time!

So… anyone head that there are a few buried Spitfires in Bristol, Backwell, Burnley, Bath, Burnham-on Sea, Burnham Overy Staithe, Bermuda, Belarus, Bogota, and Barra Colorado Island?

Just off to the Daily Telegraph Offices, will be back with cheque(s) shortly….

How deeply sad and rather childish.

My support and sympathies to the banned three, and to the Mods and others who have been put in such an unpleasant position.

Super shots Brian! It’s good to see the hoarding around the FE.2B and Battle etc has been cleared somewhat.
I must say the Milestones exhibition seems an odd place for the Snipe replica…

Having built this very kit recently, I asked the same questions on another forum. I believe the answer was:

Cockpit and wheel wells were both the standard green used on Spitfire interiors (which was a paler green than the usual “Interior Green” on other wartime aircraft)
