Oh, those wild RAF flight officers in their off hours!
Interest bit during the Jerry bombing of their command center. Ladies manning the board (well, how else could I phrase that?) were told to don their "battle bells", the dish pan helmets.
By Gad! They were good enough against French armour at Crecy, they're good enough for Jerry.( with some mod mods.)
Jack Hawkins was great in everything.
Can’t beat the older war films. Proper Chaps. :)
NB, the vast bulk of Raf pilots where NCOs during the Battle of Britain.
Raf Neethley is fictitious, the filming location was Raf Kenley.
The Waafs did an amazing job in the control rooms throughout the war.
Imagine the stress of seeing the whole battle scape and being unable to do anything to help, except give out calm reassuring radio messages.
Hurricanes are still in short supply, everybody that owns vintage wants a Spitfire. £30k minus engine ,for brand new.
