Nice to see 4 Mossies in formation even though the models were totally inaccurate. Be good to see the Dambusters again now!

Yeah, could see that they were models 80% of the time...(especially the 109 scene) I stoped watching when I came to the scene with the blond bird... <yaaaaawn>

Wasn't that guy playing the staring role in some kind of 007 series or something simillar ?

Hi Saw

The guy in the staring role used to be in 'The Man from UNCLE' which I guess could be described as a TV version of 007

As for the Mosquitos being inaccurate, I meant the actual real aircraft!

They were bomber versions with the transparent nose painted over and 4 x .303s inserted in there too. I think they were trying to make them look like the Fighter Bomber version I guess, minus the 20mm hispanos.

Yeah, shame they don't have a mossie flying over here anymore. I used to love seeing that plane fly as a kid. Are there any still flying in the world?

BTW, has anyone seen the Beaufighter Duxford are rebuilding to airworthy condition? That's something to look forward to.

Yes Replicant, (I was only whining about the paper made me109's "jumping" them

)

Yeah, I saw it Dowding and was very impressed! I probably spent more time looking at the Beaufighter in pieces than any other aircraft there! I was also lucky enough to see the Beaufighter that they have got at East Fortune (east of Edinburgh) in Scotland though that particular example needs A LOT of work doing to it.

That was pretty dire... I lasted about 10 minutes
