Hi Bob

Yes mate, I too enjoyed the film and I agree there was some poetic licence in making the film. But then it was made by the movie company as a a training film. I would like to see the "out takes" before the finished film was released to the troops. I noted that at one time there when they were cranking the inertia starter the guy who had his back to prop, turned his head and had a bit of a worried look at the prop as it fired up.

Still a well thought up blow by blow instruction manual for the boys in the field, that is if everything worked out to plan by following the instructions. I am sure the movie makers took some time to make the film and I bet they had a few hic cups before the finished product.

Cheers

Tony

Great clip

Was also interesting watching an associated clip of the germans stealth fighter the Horton 229 and how it performed under modern tests

By the american modern testers it would have been an extremly dangerous and game changing event if they had of swung it in to production earlier in the war
