Spitfires and Messerschmitts have been spotted over the Daedalus site for the film Dunkirk, which is set to be released in 2017. Directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Tom Hardy, Dunkirk tells the story of the 1940 evacuation of Allied soldiers who were surrounded by German troops on the beach of the French town.
Filming at Daedadlus reportedly began on Monday and with helicopters filming mock dogfights in the skies.
