Treadders, am I reading you right? Walton in the Battle of Britain? The music was written for the First of the Few. Is it used in BoB? Ages since I have seen it.

They usual play it at the Shuttleworth Proms with, of course, the Spitfire flying. Usually manage to fly through at the final bars and then throttle back for the crackle-crackle-crackle of the Merlin. Not a dry eye in the house.

Films I like are those made during the war, I suppose as a sort of 'propaganda'. How about Coastal Command using real RAF personnel as the actors. Sunderlands, Catalinas, and the Beaufighters at the end!!
