There was a post recently about new movies, but it looks like the 80 thousand pound independent production was to have been shown this past September. I had not seen advertisements for it, and wonder is it may be out on disk; cassette, or whatever the thingy is called today. My Sunday morning Starbucks buddy used to work on a WWII B-17G here in the states for his 3-week vacation in Octobers, and he is really into the air War in Europe. He and his wife flew in the plane from small US air port to another for a few days of helping tourists, and selling flight tickets. Help! GdeP |

Looks like it was filmed at East Kirkby. |

Did fighter pilots ever transfer to become bomber pilots? Seems rather unlikely, but I supposed it happened. Like those two hot shot fighter pilots in "Pearl Harbor" who went on to fly B-25s in the Doolittle Raid :) |

The whole story line seems to be far fetched. I would have loved to see a good film about RAF (and allied) Lancaster crews, but this does not look like being it. I dread to think what my dad would have said about it having done a 30 op tour on Lancs back in 1944. He was scathing enough about Len Deighton's book Bomber and that had a mored credible story line. |

Of course those two "hot shot" pilots in Pearl Harbor were pure fiction, like the rest of the movie. I know that some bomber pilots went the other way so I wouldn't be surprised to hear of Little Friends moving to Big Friends. |
