Movie (1966)
Starring:
Tom Adams (Charles Vine)
Dawn Addams (Flt Lt Felicity 'Fiz' Moonlight)
Sid James (Mortuary Attendant)
Wilfrid Brambell (Train Guard)
(Synopsis needed)
Douglas C-47A-25-DK
Reg. G-AJHZ of British Westpoint Airlines.
Built as a Douglas C-47A-25-DK (c/n 12421) s/n 42-92602 alias Dakota III for the Royal Air Force in 1944 (returned to USAAF on 21st of March 1947 ?). Seen in 1962 in the colors of Tyne Tees Airways (Tyne Tees Air Charter ltd).
A few seconds before the explosion and total loss ...
At the movie's end, maybe the same airplane. This time, the cameraman and the editor took great care to keep registration secret ...
Avro Lancaster Mk.I (FE)
Interesting to see this Avro Lancaster as the type was retired of active duty since more a decade ... Moreover, this paint scheme was for the Avro Lancaster Mk.I (FE) intended to be sent in the Far East for operations against Japanese homeland ... which never occured as the Tiger Air Force was disbanded on 31 October 1945. The hundred or so aircraft readied to fly over the Pacific theater never reach it but kept their paint scheme. Neverless, their retirement came in the next few years, not in the middle of the 1960s.
Various Light Aircraft
The closest is a de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk in front of three ERCO Ercoupe (one hidden by the cars) and perhaps a Piper PA-28 Cherokee on the right, far away.
BAC Lightning
XM213 No. 111 (F) Squadron RAF BAC Lightning F Mk 1A seen horizontally flipped shot before December 1964.
In 1966, this aircraft (c/n 95091) was on strength with No. 226 Operational Conversion Unit RAF where a pilot level-up the nose too quickly and so the tail bumper struck the runway. The fighter pitched onto its nose and slid along the runway with the ventral tank on fire. It came to rest just outside the perimeter fence.
Westland WS-55 Whirlwind Series 1
Reg. G-ANFH Westland WS-55 Whirlwind Series 1 c/n WA/15 wearing BEA-British European Airways colors. Written off on 1977 and still existing in 2017 but in a very poor state, dismantled and rusty by four decades outside The Helicopter Museum (Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, England).
Same helicopter in other movies at Frequently Seen Aircraft (Rotary-Wing).
