Aviation films

An aside about the "Blue Max". I was working for FG Miles at the time where the SE5as for the film were built.
RAE were asked if they had any data on the SE5, they replied "we have all the manufacturing drawings". The replicas were built to the original drawings, the only significant mods were a longer nose for the straight six Gypsy Queen against the original V8 and a larger fin to make up for the longer nose
