In 1940, the British Royal Air Force fights a desperate battle vs. the Nazi Germany Air Force for control of British air space to prevent a Nazi invasion of Britain.

Hawker Hurricane

3 Airworthy Hurricanes where used during the production of the film: MkIIc PZ865/G-AMAU, MkIIc LF363 and MkXII 5377/C-AWLW. 2 further Hurricanes MkI (P2617) and Sea Hurricane Mk1b (Z7015) where not airworthy but used as taxiing examples. Hurricane MkIIc (LF751) was acquired by the production team and was used as a mould for the replica Hurricanes to dress the set and did not itself appear in the film. These non flying replicas included some that where fitted with motorcycle engines and able to taxi. All airframes where modified to resemble a Hurricane MkI as this is the correct variant for 1940.
