..........battle of britain, yes a top show, saw it about 5 times when it came out at the pics...........obviously hooked well & truely by then !
Another couple of great pics where the "flight of the Pheonix" with Jimmy stuart in it. The original one that is not the crap more modern one staring Denis Quade I think he is. I believe the original plane in the original movie they made from the wreck did fly & the pilot was killed upon landing it, the scene at the end of that movie shows the 'contraption' actually flying over a dam & dissapearing out of sight, I assume this is where the pilot perhaps met his fate!
Also the old classic (probably not a classic to most) & that was another staring Jimmy Stuart called "no hwy in the sky"............B&W & to some degree corny I guess but was loosely based around the British Comet era, metal fatigue.
Capt wally............ahhh the good 'ole days !:-)
