Stalins Organ Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I swear, the closer I get to 60, the grumpier I get! . I'm assured that will continue once you start getting further from 60 too.....:cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Not bad. I thought the bitter relentlessness with which the Englishman pursued the German was a bit overwrought, especially the scene in the woods, but the twist at the end was nice. Sadly the twist at the end was pure fantasy - the 109 had a short range only as far as London - it would never reach Ireland in the time of hte movie, and since the air battle was clearly in the BoB with all those German bombers, the cannon armed Spitfire can only have been the experimental Mk 1's that 19 Sqn flew for a short time, and their squadron markings were "QV", not the ones on the a/c. I'll leave the 109 identifications to someone else Plus of course losing 1/2 a wing at <250 feet agl is NOT going to result in a nice upright and smooth crash landing for anyone!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 ...the 109 had a short range only as far as London... I know. I doubt that one ever flew over Ireland during wartime. I thought I'd leave that and numerous other unrealistic nits to be picked by such as yourself. Knock yourself out, there are several.

Michael Emrys Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Wow! If that's CGI, my hat is definitely off to whomever did it. "Classy" hardly describes it. I would have sworn that was real footage. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 It is definitely CGI - there are no flying Mosquitos at the moment! but there are some being built! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
