Hi Rabie,
Your “eps” file is an Epsom Scanner format 🙁

Hope you can figure it out though??
Good luck

RE: My favourite Mosquito

Strewth! I bet your popular with ‘her indoors’ when she catches you out by coming home early from a shopping trip!!

My missus almost stalls when I bring aircraft bits THROUGH the kitchen, and god help me if I slow down my pace or make to put the item down within her view!!! 🙂

Your missus must have the patience of a saint 🙂

Hey, it’s a bloody good job by the way, keep it up! What sort of engines are you gonna use? (Baby Merlins?)

TTFN

RE: Time for a Lanc!

Hey Lancman,

What was the reason for 474 getting fitted with Lincoln rudders??

Just curious

RE: ‘Night Flight’-The Verdict

My turn now…

CRITICISMS:- What were those oxy masks the crew were wearing? They certainly weren’t ‘G’ type masks! How about the one close up shot of the Skipper? The goggles he was wearing were certainly NOT WW2 issue Mk VIII’s, but were more likely to be a set of Stadium Mk VIII’s painted for effect… acceptable on long shots, but you would have thought they could find at least one set of genuine goggles for the close ups??
Did I see the crew in the NAAFI/Mess wearing shirts with fixed collars? I’m sure I did 🙁
The basic plot was a bit long winded & I feel sure the prog makers could have come up with something a bit better than they did.
No credits to E.K. I wonder why?

GOOD STUFF:- The Mae Wests, Chute’s & Harnesses were all pretty good, and I know that at least the chutes & harnesses were scratch made, but couldn’t tell 🙂
I was led to believe that the interior fuselage was a studio mock up which was scheduled for destruction after filming, BUT the chap who owns the front fuselage they used also got to take the main fuselage away with him & so it was saved 🙂 Turrets were borrowed, one from East Kirby & the other from YAM I think??
No one mentioned PA474 doing the flying scenes, pity they didn’t get her doing a fly over of Janey, opportunity missed I guess.
I thought the CG Lanc’s were great, even if they were obviously Janey duplicated over & over again.
Although not a great fan of Edward Woodward, I thought he portrayed his part perfectly in the pub & he did justice to the chaps of Bomber Command there.
I heard a whisper on the grapevine that there is supposed to be another similar Bomber Command film in the thinking stages, anyone else heard that rumour?
(YAM’s Halifax is about as good as it gets in the UK for the time being, so make the most of it chaps… I will say more off forum if you prefer.)

VERDICT:- Good action sequences portrayed fairly, but spoiled by a crap plot. Would have been much better if it was (as mentioned before) about a WW2 crew.

SCORE:- 7/10

Back to you guys.
