The shop was in Frimley Green,Surrey. A very large model of the Henkel 111 could be seen in the window shop front until the early 80’s. As a teenager we would drive past quite often on the way to see our grandparents in Deepcut. We did stop to take a look on a number of occasions.

I was living in Luton at the time this film was made. Most of the aircraft flew from Duxford , but I was surprised to see a Spitfire fly over so I went to the airport & saw it plus one other I think put away in Hunting’s old flight shed,but my biggest surprise was when the aerial filming aircraft turned up. It was a B25 painted in very garish colours. The irony of this was that it was older than the Messerschmidt’s & Heinkel’s taking part which were Spanish license built & fitted with Rolls-Royce Merlin engines. that can be seen by the exhaust coming out of the top of the engine cowling instead of the bottom. I hope this is of some interest. I think I still have a couple of photographs I took at the time.

@robharris8844U Год назад

Most of the sky combat was actually filmed in Spain as better weather conditions.The more limited scenes actually over Dover England were then inserted , such as the cliffs.Even in 1968-69 there were limitations in the number of flyable spitfires left - hence the Spanish airforce collection was useful.

@barniem3148 Год назад

It's not even conventional CGI, think they had to draw the special effects onto the negative film one frame at a time? Something like that - hours and hours of work. CGI wasn't used in movies until much later during the mid 70's onwards and "perfected" with Jurassic Park (1993), which is the digital motion capture type CGI we have today.

correct. During the Norway campaign, the Wehrmacht paratroopers seized many Norway airfields and the Luftwaffe immediately had those available to attack the British Navy at Narvik. All, literally all they had to show was a Tribal Class destroyer and a completley outdated, 25 year old light crusier sunk in two months. They repeatedly sortied against the Royal Navy in the North Sea and failed to sink anything else. In return, HMS Warspite, an old WW1 Dreadnaught, steamed into the 4th destroyer flotilla and sunk all eight Kriegsmarine destroyers without losing a single ship. That was just one capital ship, and the British had dozens of those. The Luftwaffe was not the Imperial Japanese Navy. They were downright awful at sinking warships. Air superiority would not have helped. @@thethirdman225

Absolutely. Why does the Hurricane never receive much praise? Yes, I know the Spitfire was a more capable aircraft, but the Hurricane was also a great little fighter. I just wish our awesome cousins across the pond had more powerful machine guns... at least the .50 cal. Seems like ejection problems kept the mighty 20mm Hispano out of the fight... not sure though.

@MrVolvobloke Год назад

Ah the standard old youtube reply. Why can we never watch anything about Spitfires without 'But it was the Hurricane that did all the work, the hurricane this, the hurricane that'...There is a myth that the Hurricanes went after the bombers and the Spitfires took on the fighters, but in reality they both took on whatever was in front, pilot histories bear this out. But the fact remains that only 1/3 of fighter command had Spitfires and they still scored 46% of the kills, a much higher ratio than Hurricanes. You were also far more likely to be shot down in a Hurricane. If we had had only Hurricanes we would have been in trouble. Hurricanes had a ratio of I hurricane lost for every 1.6 German machines, whereas the Spitfire had a ratio of 1 Spitfire lost to every 2.3 German machines. I'm not interested in which was the 'true' hero of the battle of Britain, They were BOTH the true heroes and I love both aeroplanes, but can we for once just enjoy a clip of Spitfires without the tedious 'but the Hurricane......'

@xj900uk 11 месяцев назад

The Me109 had a far better power-weight ratio thanks to its DB fuel-injected 601 engine, which actually gave it the edge especially at high altitude. Surprisingly, it was nearly as manoeverable as the Spitfire, but only Aces would really take it to the edge because of its very unpredictable stall at low speed; also the 'Emile' had a bit of a reputation for weakness and the wings and tail tended to fall off if you tried to flog it too hard, which put off a lot of pilots from trying to 'dance with a Spit', as Galland puts it in his autobiography. Funnily enough, Galland preferred fighting Spitfires as he always said they were easier to shoot down than the Hurricane... he certainly got a lot of them so perhaps he knew what he was talking about...

Were the frames of the Spitfire crashing into the sea at 2:50 cut or am I experiencing the Mandela effect?

@robharris8844U Год назад

I think that cut is as it is in the movie - they used that sort of cut a number of times, as obviously they could not actually crash them - smoke flare then the plane would go out of shot of the camera and scene cut to another scene. Crashes seen from above at distance were plane models so the camera did not dwell on the scene as it would effect excitement and that it was a model would become evident.

@plymouth5714 Год назад

This scene takes place about half way through the film, the scene of the Spitfire going all the way down to the beach was, I think in the final climactic battle towards the end just before the final scenes of the RAF pilots waiting around for the enemy who weren't coming after the invasion was called off.

Slightly under 50% of British fighter pilots in the Battle survived a shoot-down, and most of those did manage to return to action. Sportingly, the German's didn't shoot parachuting British pilots very often. And the British, under orders of Winston Churchill, weren't allowed to shoot parachuting Germans...the argument was they would be captured anyway..and the British then put them in a very agreeable stately home hotel where they happily chatted away to each other about the merits of the various tactics used, the performance of the different aircraft etc unaware that everything was recorded!

@raypurchase801 Год назад

@@richardsimpson3792 A similar discussion took place in the Luftwaffe a couple of years later. The aircrew and commanders all agreed they wouldn't shoot a man in a parachute.

@robertotamesis1783 Год назад

The problem of using in-line engines is that one shot in the engine manifolds can virtual stop the plane. Unlike radial , one shot in the one radical cylinders won't be effective.

@jjsmallpiece9234 Год назад

Radial engines have too large a cross section, so cause too much drag, Hence why most piston engine aircraft were water cooled in-line engines

@colinbarron4 Год назад

The weakness of a liquid - cooled engine like the RR Merlin is that even a single bullet anywhere in the cooling system can cause the engine to overheat and seize.

@raypurchase801 Год назад

@@colinbarron4 All true. The USAAF preferred Thunderbolts to Mustangs for ground-strafing in '44 and '45,. Mustangs had vulnerable cooling systems and many were lost.

Yet ANOTHER clueless yankee commenter who thinks they won WW2 alone. Listen Cletus, at the time that the RAF were fielding fighters with 8x .303 brownings, the USAAF were pootling about the skies with the P40 Warhawk, which at the time carried two light barrelled .50 cals and two .30 or .303 cals. Give over with your Yankee BS, in 1940 the RAF would have wiped the USAAF from the skies.
