I found this V H S video in a reduced section, and although worth the 50p I paid for it, it was so full mistakes and wrong A/C types, I wanted to scream. Some shots of so called Hurricanes were in fact Typhoons. Remarks of a heavy Lancaster raid on Germany (Shot of an Avro Anson) being responsible for the revenge raid on Coventry. Shot of Hurricane (Spitfire) attacking and shooting down a 109 which turns out then to be a Spitfire. And these so call experts get paid for this!!!!!Anybody seen my heart pills?

It sounds like a real turkey but it can't be worse than the dire special effects in "633 Squadron", in which you can glimpse the dowel rods held by the over-enthusiastic 'animators', who manage to force the naff models into stall-defying rates of climb, before the truppenny bangers go off on the little balsawood model 'fjord' ten inches below...

Ohhhhhhhhh yes it can. Nominations please for the best historical Turkey. There's a film called 'Soldier of Orange set in WW2 where a Mosquito taxis passed an Avro Shakleton.

Gentlemen, (And ladies) if this was work of fiction, I would agree, but it's not.

On an aviation theme?
According to David Lean's "The Sound Barrier" (1952) it was a Brit called Philip Peel (John Justin) who beat Chuck Yeager to Mach 1.0.
An example of 'our lot' getting our revenge in first for the travesty which was U571?
