    Death Proof
    Quentin Tarantinos half of the Grindhouse double act. One of my fave QT films with great dialogue and mad car chase. 9/10

    The wolf of wall street
    Mad bad and very rude but oh so glorious! 9/10

    American Hustle
    Lasted 20 Minutes ,just couldn’t get into it. Nil Points

    28 Days latter and 28 Weeks later
    Danny Boyles version of zombies and the sequel. The first is better than the latter, even though the sequel has the Hollywood stars. 8/10 and 7/10

    The Monuments Men
    George Clooney,Bill Murray,|Hugh Bonniville and co try to rescue stolen art from the Germans after D-Day. Based on a true story….loosely if what i have read is to be believed.Still passed the time and had a nice panning shot featuring Duxford residents Sally B,Snafu and i think Ferocious Frankie aswell as a P-40 and piper Cub with a C-47 and cgi background.Plus shots of the Duxford tower and hangers.

    Filth James Mcavoy is a cynical nasty copper lying and abusing his way to the top ,with a little twist. Not bad,not as cool as it thinks it is 7/10

    Homefront Jason Statham protecting his daughter from the bad guys nuff said. keeps you amused for a few hours 7/10 just because it’s Statham.

    Noah laughably bonkers take on the mythical story,and not a dead unicorn in sight! 6/10

    Sunshine on Leith A musical about the love lives of two returning soldiers in Scotland all to the tunes of The Proclaimers. Wonderfully entertaining 8/10

    Captain America The Winter Soldier Ok if that’s your thing i enjoyed it 8/10

    All five of the original Planet of the apes movies great start ,misses a beat then comes strong again with the third film then falls of a cliff
    Planet of the Apes 9/10 a classic
    Beneath the planet of the Apes 6/10 poor
    Escape from the planet of the Apes 8/10 much better
    Conquest of the planet of the Apes 6/10 oh dear
    Battle for the planet of the Apes 4/10 really! was this film necessary?

    Good to see the Falcon in the background. Worried this one will be as bad as the last three films made.
    I can still remember the thrill of watching Clapperboard when it showed the clip of Han and Luke man the Falcons turrets.
    At the time mind blowing effects and ships that looked dirty and used….aahh

    The post title made my heart skip a beat thinking that Jules Bianchi had died. Very sad to hear that Andrea de Cesaris had passed .
    Condolences to De Cesaris family and get well soon to Jules.
    Perhaps the thread title should say former or ex Formula 1 driver to make things clear.

    Fury
    Enjoyable piece of hokum
    Die Hard 2
    Always noticed the C-123 Provider with an ejector seat. Never noticed it was made to look like a four engined jet before! [or is that just my copy ?] Other than that a film of its time still enjoyable . Yippee kyay ……….

    Many thanks for that.
    EDIT It appears that the real s/n for this Aircraft is s/n 44-63871 and not 44-63865 as quote in the photo text.But as
    with all things Mustang especially ex IDAF examples you can’t always be certain.
    I am quoting info off ‘t’ interweb

    I enjoyed the sight of 20+ C-47s in one place a true once in a lifetime event. Two points though
    1/ i know it was not an airshow but couldn’t the aircraft have made at least one mass flyby?
    2/ A flight line walk of all or most of the aircraft would have been a treat.
    As an aside DoD really should have updated their confirmed list .38 down to 23 was a joke [ still happy to pay £25 to see 23 though.]
