But in the trailer the vehicles around the aircraft are army desert marked types, of which I don’t recall seeing any in pictures of the filming at Dux?
Also G-ASGC doesn’t have the fuselage side cargo door show in the trailer aircraft IIRC. Of course that could’ve been CG’d on?

Ah, that’s an idea, thanks.
And I will probably be doing a recce of the important sites in the story, locations of witnesses etc, soon.

I was just wondering. I the author of the book, Mr Green, still alive, and if so, does anyone know how I can contact him potentially?

Announcement regarding documentary

Thank you to all those who have suggested sites and incidents to investigate as part of the documentary.

I have decided that I will be focusing on the story of Avro Lancaster I ‘L7575’ as the subject as it is not only very local to me, but also has a particularly interesting crew of different nationalities, ages, and backgrounds.

I have purchased a copy of Harry Greens very comprehensive book and have begun the research process.
Aside from that any information on the incident would be gratefully received.

Once again, thank you all for your suggestions especially to member Denis, who has provided me with a list of some sites which I will certainly consider for potential future ‘episodes’

Regards,

Chris

I somehow doubt at this rate that I’ll be visiting the collection again for the foreseeable future.
What with the BoB collection decimated, the place becoming a dumbed down and sanitised place, and the fact most of the museum is closed, there doesn’t seem as much point…
…That and also when I tried to apply for a job there I got to the interview stage but then they didn’t have the courtesy to email back to say if I got the job or not, even when prompted. So all in all, it’s become a bit of a let down. We’re having a family boycott of it after the job debacle xD

What has happened to that Amiot (Junkers 52) is a disgrace, look at how the paint is flaking off, the colours have changed, it’s slowly going to waste away :/

Look at the damage here: http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/event/tour-of-the-polish-aviation-museum-in-krakow-700033668?esource=SEO_GIS_CDN_Redirect#-picture-id667475970

I saw something interesting on I think it was Arco’s instagram or facebook about a Spitfire Mk II wing? Does anyone know more?
I could be wrong of course and/or imagined it as I can no longer find the post!

Right, so I’ve got ‘War-Torn Skies: Hertfordshire’ and I must say it’s a brilliant book…so many possible incidents to investigate!
Possible subjects:

Avro Lancaster I L7575 – Crashed as mentioned at Colney Heath (Prime Candidate)
B17G ‘Fool’s Luck’ SC-D – Crashed Foxhole Hill, Potters Bar
Heinkel 111 H-2 A1+CR of KG53 – Crashed at Hunsdon*
Heinkel 111 H-5/6 1H+ET of KG26 -Crashed at Bendish*
Junkers Ju88 3Z+BB of KG 77 – crashed at Eastend Green Hertingfordbury*
Junkers JU88 C-4 R4+BL of NJG 2 – Collided with Wellington and crashed at Ashwell*
Spitfire R7033 – crashed at Butler’s Hall, Sawbridgeworth
Spitfire V W3714 – Overshot runway at Hatfield

Any of these stand out to forumites as particularly interesting subjects?
Also does anyone have any further info/exact location etc for any of these (not already mentioned or with a * )?
Would there be any bits to find at these sites to discover/any indication on the landscape of the incidents for visual effect etc at any of these sites?

John Green. I am not saying this new version is perfect by any means and it does have some plot/script/continuity issues per say, however your blanket defaming of it as hopeless is just short sighted.
Having not seen the old version I can’t comment much, but I do know it pretty much neglects the role of the RAF, so in this respect he modern version is better I’d say, and furthermore, how many young people sit down and watch some 1950s war film? It may be perhaps a better representation in some respects but it hardly entices the younger generations as much as a brand new representation with current stars such as Styles, Hardy etc.

And FYI I was not launching a personal attack, merely as you were doing, stating “my opinion”.

The film wasn’t hopeless at all, a lot of work was put into the production, you just have to look at the behind the scenes pictures that have appeared in various places.
What matters is, it is a good attempt at bringing the story of Dunkirk to a wider and especially younger audience who, as many have already said, aren’t counting rivets, or picking holes in it compared with period footage.
It is dramatic without being ridiculous, focuses on the main stages in the evacuation: land, sea, and air, and does it with real, physical planes, boats etc.
I think John Green is being hopelessly critical!
