The Zuccoli one is on the market John.

I fear I may be putting my foot in it like Paul has, but in defence of the rebuilders, the way I see it is…

Many currently active Spitfires and other warbirds have killed people and no-one is concerned about it. ML407 has killed people. TB863 has too. MH434 probably has but i have yet to look that one up. Many Mitchells, Mustangs, Hurricanes, etc flying, all killed. As James says, some have had people die in them too.

An aeroplane is a machine, a tool, not a murderer. I see no morale attachments to an airframe so long as the original intention of weapon of war is no longer attached. After all, they are all now memorials to past times when men fought and died in them, are they not?

Does anyone know what Gina Campbell thinks of the restoration? Is she for it or against it? The website shows her visiting it but does not mention what she thought of it being restored.

This is without a doubt the world’s most famous speed record boat. Will it go to the Science Museum with the other great speed record boats?

They could film the sequel with P-40’s in Australia, as theren are several of type flying downunder nowadays, and parts of the outback double well as the Western Desert of Africa.

How did Bletchley supposedly die? I don’t recall this being in the series, or am I having a memory balnk? I’ve never seen the book.

Wonderful photos, thanks Les. So I guess they did some of the stuff the A4K’s did. Maybe in the end they were doing all the sae roles. I don’t really know too much about them in RNZAF service, sadly. I should brush up.

I’ve never seen a Canberra flying and to me they always look ungainly and like they’d be hard to manouvre about the sky in combat, especially strafing the ground, when compared with the A4K, Vampire or Blunty. I guess this impression is probably quite wrong, but I’ve not had the chance to see one in the air.

Our Canberras were sold to India after we got the A4K’s. I wonder how long they lasted there and if they outdid the Skyhawk’s run of lifetime? I also wonder if any still exist.

Why attempt to make a film of Piece of Cake by truncating the story which has already made superbly in its full length? That’s daft. PoC is a series that stands the tests of time very well indeed, and will continue to. It doesn’t need a remake of any sort.

If you want to make a film with a Hurricane squadron vs proper Messershmitts, now that many such flyable types are available, find a different story to base it on. There’s hundreds, thousands of them out there to be told. We’d all appreciate a new story, not a remake. It’s as bad as those people who want Dambusters remade – why? There’s millions of Bomber Command stories to make, why not be original?

And you don’t need to know the right people regarding regions, as stated the commercial release is Region Free, so plays on any players.
