North Korea reverse engineer the Spitfire from the Battle of Britain film. However did not realise the flying shots were from close ups in 4:3 format

When the Supermarine rep came down to the torpedo tube to find out why the Super-Submarine Spittoon-Fire didn't make it out of the tube, he saw that there was a basic flaw - the pilot drowned when they flooded the tube. Must remember to close the cockpit next time...

"Sorry Captain, it's all cancelled. Apparently someone sent a telegram to the War Department saying the project has gone down the tubes so they've told us to pull the plug on it".
