    Not a DH4 I don’t think, the struts and the cockpit look wrong, as does the exhaust pipe somewhat.

    A bit removed for fear of invasion?
    Or edited out?

    A hell of a sacrifice, an immaculately restored, authentic looking Hurribomber, into a glorified rickshaw with wings (and an engine).

    Isn’t that (or was) Jeremy Hall’s Lanc cockpit. Once used to play the part of a Dornier cockpit in ‘Foyle’s War’

    I don’t find it overly offensive, just a bit rubbish, the photoshop is meh, the scale’s off between the runners and the pilots. I think they could’ve done something better and more novel. Just looks rushed.

    Ah. But it’s different to the marks on the HAC example, though supposedly portraying the same machine?
    Which is correct? Or are they both true to the original RF-Es in the Battle?

    The film Hurris lettering is incorrect is it not? The RF should go first, then the E on the Port side as well as starboard?

    Ahh I see! That makes sense I thought the IWM Storch referred to the static one. I didn’t realise it had been such a quick job to get it flying having been (as long as I recall) static.
    Perhaps BPHZ will emerge soon?

    P2902 is the new star of ‘Hurricane’ hence the interesting Polish markings.
    Someone posted a trailer on the forum earlier…the less said the better….

    Was it due to their provenance or something? not being ‘original’ Luftwaffe examples?
    The Toucan sale I think was a bad mistake, from pictures of it I’ve seen, it’s just rotting outside in Poland. That lovely finish they applied at Dux is now just a faded version of its former self.

    Blast, I’m not surprised though, was found quite near a road. Someone must’ve dumped it or had a prang at some point. I left it where it was anyhow.

    1batfastard. Maybe I was over complimentary about CGI, but hey, at least the aircraft looked like what they were meant to be for the most part, I mean compared to say, that (in my opinion) unconvincing CGI of a Spitfire Mk IX flying over London in ‘SS GB’ last year’.
    Rather harsh Sabrejet. But each to their own I guess.
    Ultimately, as with most things, it’s not a documentary, it’s family TV, and at least it does something to bring the Battle of Britain (and the war in general by association) to the minds of the younger generations in an engaging way, which however it is done (within reason) must be a good thing?

    Would it not be possible (if the aircraft was somehow obtained back from Egypt) to do what they do to graffitied/vandalised buildings/sculptures, wash/clean off the new model kit style paintwork to reveal the original paintwork if it remains, underneath?
    Then remove all the fabricated parts and see what’s left of the original airframe?
