Matt, Yew’d be correct I am indeed referring to the rumo(yew)rs that were posted on this and another forum regarding the possible movement of the P40. Hopefully one day it will be displayed as a testament to Sgt. Copping and his comrades, in whichever country it is ultimately destined for.

Only just heard the awful news. It was an immense pleasure and privilege to meet him at Biggin Hill last year. RIP and blue skies sir

RIP Blue skies sir. He flew Typhoons in the ETO if my memory serves me with the added risk he was a German born Jew.

Thanks for posting that, had not seen it before. Hopefully more of it becomes available to view.

Torn on which scheme I want to see her in. Personally would prefer for it to keep it’s BoB markings, although I would not be disappointed to see the Spanish Airforce markings adorn her.

My bet is its a collector with no interest in aviation

It’s quite sad if that is the case. Of course the owner is fully entitled to do what they please with the aircraft. But it would have been nice to see it go to someone with some enthusiasm, as it is a shame P9374 missed the 75th anniversary displays. I do hope we haven’t seen the last of her in the skies.

There’s definitely a better movie to be made about the Battle of Britain. One with a cohesive plot line would be a good start.

I would agree with this. There are parts which seem to have been shoehorned in, and some of the various plot lines have no conclusion. Considering the hours and hours of flying sequences that were recorded and remained on the cutting room floor I am disappointed when you see the same sequences again through the film.

But I would go so far as to say a new film could not match the Walton/Goodwin score.
