Maybe he would swap for a Vulcan, cheaper to run and its got props :dev2:

He probably just stopped for a Pint or 8, its nearly impossible to be done for drink/flying a Spitfire the Police helicopter simply cannot keep up with a MK IX at full tilt.:diablo:

I was thinking that projecting a sky scene taken from a forward facing video camera together with appropriate engine sounds may give a reasonable impression of flight to someone seated inside a cockpit. You could also shake the wings a bit.:diablo:

I still prefer the crane with a large piece of bungy attached engine noise and spinning prop a problem already overcome. I am am sure Baz with his skill on photo shop could give us and artists impresion ?. 10% off for you Robert!!:diablo:

This is true I made that mistake and learnt the lesson with Pearl harbour. The director of First Light was a nice polite patient chap, Micheal Bay on the other hand was a loud impatient arrogant man with no regard for the props. I left the Spit at Doctor Who as it was to stay still in the studio with the wings off, however on my return I found the carb full of foam where they had made a top cowling to cover the engine (being a metior with carb on top it sticks up slightly proud of the cowling) there was also damage to one of the wings a large hole. When I complained they checked CCTV and said it was there when I arrived , when I disputed this and asked to see the film I was refused as it was according to them against comapny policy:rolleyes: They did repair the damage so no harm was done. Also the gunsight was damaged. 😡
Film work is fun but you really must get everything in writing and think hard about the conditions before proceeding.
