The great air race was screened on local telly here in Aus, Tasmania, a couple of years ago, but under the name of "Half a world away". A good majority of it was shot at local airports in and arround the melbourne area. Of course a goodly amount of subbing on aircraft types--AT-6 for the GBracer, Stearmans for fairy flycatchers, Anson for a Boeing, etc. I beleive that some of the taxiable? replicas of the DH-88 have been sold on as display aircraft. The acting although not first class was/is good. Personal opinion : quite watchable, with some good flying sequences.
