Oh you evil man you! Now I am going to be humming this all bloody day….. ;-P Fatman Great film tho, despite the casting of George Chakiris as the most Greek Norwegian ever. |

Great movie! I have a copy so I'll have to watch it again soon. |

George Chakiris was a studio actor so he came with the funding. |

The special effects obviously didn't, but to see and hear so many mosquitos, fantastic. |

George Lucus credits his "Star War" battle of the trench on the death star to watching "633 Squadron" as child. So that movie made a big impact to a later generation. |

Actually, I think that was 617 Sqdrn, if I'm not mistaken. Still, this one is an excellent, epic movie. Surprised no one has done a "get the Tirpitz" movie yet. |

No 633 Squadron is the one that Lucas credits, Mosquitoes flying down a steep narrow gorge against concentrated Flak and fighters trying to put bombs on a pin point target. Fatman |

Who was the great Aussie cricketer who flew mossie's who was once asked about "pressure" during a big match and said, if you've has a Messerschmidt up your ass, then pressure is not an issue? – I paraphrase… Also maybe the RAF's early and fairly suicidal Tornado low level Gulf War 1 tactics were a bit influenced by to many commanders watching this movie ;) |

Ah, I see. I'd read it was 617 in several reviews, but see how they can easily get the two confused. Thanks for the clarification. |

No problem Mako if you haven't seen the movie try and get a copy get some beers and a few buddies and chill out. Fatman |
