What’s the story on the Balliol and Cobra?
Wasn’t there a plan to make WV838 a complete aircraft again using wings and tail from another aircraft?
So glad they got out ok!:eek:
One question from a safety standpoint: It see the forward lower hatch is open. I assume that is where the cockpit crew got out. I seem to remember this hatch is locked shut on Sally B? Or am I getting old?
Great news! 😀
It’s a good compromise I think. Stephen Fry is right that it would give a lot of problems in the states. I’d rather see the film made with “Digger” instead of “nigger”, then not at all.
Maybe some people will get inspired by the movie or at least get to know some history!
Sometimes language changes over time. Another example is the word gay. I’m feeling gay today doesn’t mean what it used to mean!
Lightning panel anyone?

So is that really a production error, or simply a mod?
fourthet:D
I think it is a helicopter of some sort possibly modified for a film set to represent a ………….

Looks like a fake Alouette III
You would know better than I, but I thought that the Fouga (Magister?) didn’t have bang seats?
It Doesn’t. It was found they took up too much space in the cockpit. BUT, there was a proposal. Martin Baker developed a special seat for the Magister and real-life ejection trials were made using a German Fouga. This was the MB GZ-4 seat. There are pictures floating around the net. I even found all the paperwork to install them into the aircraft. Seems the Belgian AF seriously considered installing them.

Fouga is GZ-4
I’m sure with a bit of TLC it can be made into a very nice exhibit. Maybe reskin one side? The pictures don’t do it justice, being crammed in between all that stuff.
I get that error when I try to watch QldSpitty’s Youtube video:o

Thanks! :p
Yeah, but it’s not one of those. I would like a picture for a school assignment, but no worries if one doesn’t turn up 🙂
