Very annoying film stock
Arising out of the "Piece of Cake" thread, which bits of endlessly re-used inaccurate bits of film clip really annoy you?
If we make up a list, maybe we could send it to the BBC and the History Channel and get them to use some other bits.
Just to kick off on Battle of Britain documentaries
That bit with the "scramble" bell being rung (you're right there, Gainesy!)
The early He 111 with the stepped canopy allegedly bombing London
The "Messerscmidt 109" going inverted into the channel off Dover - it still looks like a Spitfire to me.
That close-up of the four-cannon Hurricane IId
And all the gun camera film of Fw 190's, 109's with drop tanks and small Luftwaffe training aircraft being shot down.
