Good to see the A.T.&T livery airborne again - my Dad was one of the original A.T.&T pilots

Hello IslandPilot


In the making of the Aviators Film, meticulous attention to detail was central to its production.

Aircraft were chosen based on historical importance, but also it was essential that some of the aircraft flew, rather than rely solely on historical archive footage to bring our story to life.

The DH .51 was chosen as a closest aircraft to represent the DH.9 as it was the closest aircraft type still airworthy.


Thanks
