"Lastly, and slightl;y off topic, I watched the 1962 film "Flight from Singapore" last night. Very poor acting and dreary story line but many great scenes of Paya Lebar with Comets, DC3, etc and also many shots of RAF Changi with 205 Sqn Shackletons, N, L and E in particular. The RAF of course came to the rescue in the shape of Hastings TG561. Ah nostalgia....."

Following on from this, has anyone seen the classic 1955 British film "Out of the clouds?" Set in and around Heathrow, it features some superb propliner footage, but as a film is otherwise a complete dud-a typical 1950s British B movie. I recorded it from TV a few years ago, but as it's just become available on DVD on Amazon, I bought a copy last week.
