Eureka!

I think it’s the air scout day tomorrow at Biggin! I know that the Lanc is displaying. I wonder if the Spit is anything to do with that.

Nope. The Spit had nothing to do with the Air Scouts. It was a private event for some corporate firm. They had a load of Jeeps “chauffeur” the execs from the White Hart in Brasted to Big-Gin for the presentation then The Grace Spitfire did an eight minute solo display.

So, it was Carolyn Grace grace. And it was graceful. I burnt the dinner watching that display. 😀

What’s the actual town of Scampton like? If it’s still got that period look the film makers may be using the town for exteriors when the characters are off base.

Treated to a nice bit of aerobatics bit a Spitfire with invasion stripes. I did think it was the Kent Spitfire but now I’m not so sure as the pictures I’ve seen of it don’t have invasion stripes. Unless it’s had a makeover. 😀

To be honest if they planned doing all interior and exterior lanc filming on one day then it sounds a little low budget. Hope not.

The film is only around 30 minutes long. They filmed the “flying” sequence inside the hangar using some blue screen technology. I could be mistaken as I was outside with the second unit who were filming pick up shots of ground crew and base personnel.

Looks like a small budget indy film. I doubt therefore CGI will be involved, which will keep this thread quiet 😉

An Indy flick it is. But I reckon there will be CGI but nothing too over the top… merely stars, flak and searchlights among other things, I would have thought.

The film makers will know more. Has anyone e-mailed them?

Vulcanitious do? 😀 Bex

Rock-a-doodle-doo, matey! That’s a Vulcanmungus name for an affliction.

Well done to everyone involved. Splendid!

The BBMF has just landed at Biggin.

Okay, I’m editing this as I wrote it as if I owned TFC. Sorry to anyone who took offence.

I thought No Guts was a lovely sight around our air show circuit. As were all the other warbirds flying in the UK.

For the people that can’t understand why TFC sold her for one that’s not yet assembled and flying let’s just remind ourselves that our friends across the pond have the exact same situation. NGNG is hopefully over in Chino now… in a crate. I’ve seen pictures of Little Demon,on the TFC website, out of the crate.

Everyone wants it to be put together as fast as a LEGO kit but we (as a whole) don’t want anything going wrong. More haste less speed (although haste means to do something quickly so the phrase seems to cancel itself out). TFC can’t rebuild it like a LEGO kit if something, God forbid, goes wrong.

We can watch plenty of planes out there while the masses wait for it’s debut. Consider it a cracking support band at gig.

How’s that sound?
