Very good, interesting twist in the tail |

Did either fighter have that sort of range to get that far? |

Nice! Dunno about 109's which IIRC only had fuel for about 20 mins messing about over Britain before skedaddling but Ireland's only a short hop away by Spitfire. I'd be sruprised though if anyone ended up there without noticing like the guys in the video! |

Have seen it before, but still a great video One of my buddy's dads was an officer in the tiny Irish army who spent the war escorting interned aircrew around – they were mostly Allied bomber crews As to the feasibility, I don't know that a Me-109 would have had the legs – or the need – to be near Irish airspace – but it still makes a great yarn! |

Very good, I liked the dogfight scene, very well done. I think I recognise the town, but am not sure. Phil |

I've seen that before. I love it. The opening scene approaching the bomber formations and the dog fights are wonderful. I know a Bf-109 is not going to make it to Ireland, but a good twist at the end. |

Great story! Great fighter action! |

If an ME109 got that far it was going to be a one way trip. |

This man needs to be given a bigger budget for a proper feature. He could do Paerl Harbour, as there has been no film made about that in the past 40 years (!)…. |

Where's Pearl Harbour? I can see giving the man more money, but he should *not* go to Hollywood. Ever. |

Apparently Allied aircrew tended to get repatriated far more easily than German, until a politician in the Irish Dail asked "I know we're neutral, but who are we neutral against?" |

Hah, that's funny. Didn't de Valera threaten to withdraw the 8th Army from North Africa? |
