We are currently watching 'Piece of Cake' for the first time in 8 years.(we have it on dvd)
More enjoyable this time around
MOD would not have anything to do with it so it was all done by LWT/OFMC and they obviously listened to military advisor Peter Matthews DFC and also to OFMC people on the tech/flying side.
Uniforms/Badges/ranks all spot on as with paying military compliments etc - all done correctly with no input from RAF/MOD.
No Agendas being pushed,No 'Box Ticking',sure a little irreverent at times but mostly done with dark humour
,the main actors actually have some character/personality and of course top notch pilots supplying some great flying footage - sometimes the flying scenes are done with great panache
Sure the purists complained of the 'wrong aircraft' being used in france but I would rather watch the wrong aircraft in action than see cgi cartoons.
Edit - and hey they actually knew what to shout to mechanics on engine starts - ''Contact'' -
Not ''Clear Prop'' which is usually used nowadays
