Danny42C , I went to Teesside Park for the 14:00 showing , £8-20 and well worth every penny . If I'd have known you were going tonight I would have gladly gone along and paid for you both as my thanks for your past endeavours .

Thoroughly enjoyed the film , very well put together and the flying sequences with the recently re-built Spitfires and Hurricane were both superbly photographed and choreographed . The veterans were as much the stars as the aircraft and I thought that the recollections of the recently passed Tom Neil were so free flowing and lucid that the intervening 70 years or so had clearly not dimmed his memory .

The film goes on selected general release on the 20 July and will be released on DVD on the 10 September , more details from www.spitfire.film . It is a must see , even more so than The Sound Of Music !
