There was a fantastic interview with Connie Edwards and one of the senior film crew on Radio 4 last month. Best bit came when Connie recalled the "management" claiming that the "fighting" wasn't "real" enough and getting frustrated at poor weather. One day the CAF and Spanish pilots were stacked before lunch as the weather at Duxford was awful, becoming pants. They all went to the pub and got pretty hoovered, when, at 3.30ish one of the filmcrew burst in and said that the weather had improved and they wanted to launch the wing. The next day the director was delighted, as the footage obtained was far more realistic. Connie recalled congratulating one of the Buchon pilots - who was shocked as he had no recollection of flying the previous day at all.....
Wouldn't happen nowadays would it!!
