"Check out the 1st poster for new war movie HURRICANE: SQUADRON 303 which has a rather British cast lead by Iwan Rheon, Sam Hoare and Stefanie Martini, alongside Mel's son Milo Gibson and Polish star Marcin Dorocinski. It is the story of a group of brave Poles who fought in the skies over England in WW2, not just to keep Great Britain free from the Nazis, but also to keep alive the very idea of their own country, which had existed in its modern form for barely twenty years before it was crushed under Germans. Equipped with the almost-obsolete Hurricane and (with some initial reluctance) given RAF blue uniforms, while they fought, Poland lived."

My comments exactly. Almost obsolete? It's one of my favourite iconic fighters. |

Highest scoring Hurricane unit of Battle of Britain and the silly limeys didn't want the Poles to fly… And weren't the poles only participating part of the battle which makes it even more impressive. |

Dowding said that the Poles tipped the scales of battle, that he wasn't sure if they'd have won without them. |

Trailer for the movie, looks really good. One SL, Kent, was a Canadian, most people assume he was British. YouTube link |
