I also remember seeing LA226 on the gate Biggin Hill in the early eighties.

Great shots Martin,

I thought you weren’t going back on Sunday, didn’t you mention something about mowing the lawn!:rolleyes:

And some of the acting leaves a lot to be desired too. Watch out for the man answering the phone at dispersal then leaning out the window to say ‘tea’s up’. He should have been shot at dawn for that piece of acting.

And when Susannah York is introduced to the pilot who had bad burns to his face he said, very woodenly, that he had ‘had an escapade with a Hurricane’
.

This actor in question was Bill Foxley who had been an RAF navigator who survived a 1944 bomber crash, Foxley was burned afterwards, trying to save a comrade; he lost his fingers, his right eye, and underwent some 40 surgeries down at East Grinstead with McIndoe. So although he was a touch wooden, (no worse than a certain Maurice Micklewhite) he did add further authenticity to the film.
