Regarding the new DVD release of the Battle Of Britain film.
Robert, like many enthusiasts had always hoped the the Battle of Britain film would eventually be released on DVD in its original widescreen format, and had been in contact with the distributors on both sides of the Atlantic whilst researching his books.
It was Robert who informed them about the existence of the documentary Battle for the Battle of Britain, made by Christopher Doll with Michael Caine as the presenter/narrator. (Shown on the night of the premiere on what is now ITV).
Originally Robert was going to loan Hamish Mahaddie’s 16mm version of the documentary to the producers. Luckily after checking through the archives a larger format version was found. This copy has supposedly been remastered for the release.
When the DVD does finally turn up spare a thought for Robert who helped make it happen.
Would that be a Spitfire Fuselage, the shape does look a bit like a canopy.
Do you know where it was taken.
Septic.
