I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Probably one of the last war films that didn't strive for absolute authenticity of the props. 633 Squadron movie mistakes, goofs and bloopers. The Land Rover in an early sequence stood out like a sore thumb. The Longest Day of a similar vintage worked hard to get authentic vehicles and kit.

I always remember 633 Sqn in 1964 as it was in 633 block at Changhi Officers' Mess that we stayed in after our jungle survival course. Never found out whether it was a standard building works number or after the sqn.
