The early VIIIs had the pointy wing tips, too.

The second gun camera photo (#8) is unmistakably a Spitfire……..oops!

Bf109. Late Gustav series looks like.

Weren’t 129 aircraft used for part of the filming of that wartime ATA film around then? I forget it’s title. The one with the american volunteer and a rather impressive display by Alex Henshaw? Might explain the code discrepancy. Then again, my own log bog has a few transposed serials in it!

Ferry Pilot! That was it!

Ah yeah. I forgot GMKIV pranged at Denham. Too painful to think about after all that work!

…. a numpty anorak who doesn’t know what he is blithering on about….

My ears are burning! 😀

Plenty of Gannets around and they look the part too.

A bit of fun…but it does contrast with the reverence shown to anything to do with Bomber Command, and particularly 617 Squadron, here.

But I do hope you’re not teaching the younger generation here any silly stereotypes. 🙂

More Hollywood cliche sarcasm than anything. The proposed Dambusters remake receives a fair amount of stick too!

May I say, Robert, what an excellent project! Best of luck with it!
