Heheheh, thrila is too modest - that film ends early, before he shoots down the other spit, followed by another con, followed by a 51 which I finished off but for which he got credit (waaaa) followed by us both landing on the cv. I stayed within the wires, just, ah, sans landing gear.

Thrila, email me at markhux@hotmail.com sometime, I have a favour to ask.

Cheers,

Seeker,

I watched it last night, first time since 1964. Brought back a lot of memories of my old elementary school friends.

The stars of the movie are the Mossies. I heard that they pranged two Mossies during the filming.

When you watch the last flight/attack scene, guess which movie used it as the basis for it's final scene. I'm sure you'll recognize it!
