Spitfire Film Music

Does anyone know what music was used in the film 'Angels One Five' (the one with John Gregson as 'Septic' Baird.) Can't seem to find it on any website that mentions the film and I am sure there was some music in it. Am sure it was not Walton's Spitfire Prelude and Fugue which was written for 'First of the Few' I think.

Alternatively . . . .

Can anyone recall a flying battle sequence involving Spits and Hurricanes where the music used was Mars from The Planets by Holst?

The music used in the Battle of Britain's dogfight sounds like 'Mars', but I think that the film score was written by Walton (?)

The music for BoB was originally written by Walton but rejected by Guy Hamilton and rewritten by Ron Goodwin, except the Battle in the Air which was kept from Walton's score and accompanies Sep 15th.

No, what I am looking for (on behalf of someone else) is Mars.
