When the film came out the RAFs primary flying banana squadron were down at a top secret flying base across the runway from what is now Newquay International airport. The lineys popped into the local cinema to watch it for a laugh, and when the lights came up at the point where they changed reels (remember that?) the back row seemed to be filled with our aircrew.


Several reruns of specific lines from the film were attempted the following day but it didn't quite sound the same when the numerous "Goose" and "Mav" stand-ins were waddling down the flight line in full immersion suits....
