I havent been to Brooklands for years. We deliverd some porta cabins for use as class rooms. What a nice suprise when we got there, the driver just said we were going to Weybridge.
Is the Lancaster cockpit the replica that was on ebay ?
Is the film mock up the one used by the BBC for some thing like `Night Flight`. I always asumed this is what they had at Thorpe Camp, Lincs.
, though it was a great technical feat and a propaganda success, and courageously executed.
As good a reason as any hp.
And why not remake the film in a way that was not possible in the original. Not to mention bringing it to a new generation.
Ps. In the vane hope that any one reading this is involved with the film, i would love to be an extra.
[QUOTE=Peter Garner;1300699]I haven’t seen “The Great Escape” but Luftwaffe Harvards can also be seen in “Where Eagles dare” and it seems that here they also got the markings right.
The Luftwaffe used quite a few of them. I think they were captured in France and then used for training duties. I have more and better pictures of some. I’ll have to dig them out.

So the airfield scene in Great escape is accurate:)
I did that Lysander years ago before I moved out of my parents – I left a big Lysander wing outline on the carpet from spraying it black and forgetting the newspaper !!
Havent we all. I left a silver B17 outline. Ithought it looked pretty good.
