Athol Forbes πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ My dad balanced the nose cones on the Spanish sourced BF109s for that movie, still one at Duxford. He was nose cone/prop specialist Hawker Sid/BAe. I have a tribute to him down hall…

Battle of Britain film…just spotted this after a mere 145,678 viewings.
James Cosmo is exiting Hurri.
Strange head appears low down INSIDE the cockpit. Which has no door.

Sad to see the ad in Aeroplane for the potential sale of the Historic Aircraft Collection.
It and the incredibly hardworking team that have supported them inc Derek Rusling have given much joy and paid tribute to amongst others the Poles in WW2. Hoping they stay in the UK. πŸ™

Perusing a book on 'Der Adler', the Luftwaffe's propaganda magazine.
Came across this, in German only and my German sadly is truly awful.
Will be disappointed though if there isn't something about a cold hard winter.πŸ˜‰
