It stars John Gregson and Muriel Pavlow and quite a few Vampires and Meteors. There's a special guest appearance by the new Supermarine Swift. Well before the terms Eco-warrior and NIMBY were first used it's about a rural Norfolk community trying to stop the RAF using a local bird sanctuary as a firing range.
Yes I watched that again recently...I watched it first when I was in 2ndTAF in Germany flying Venoms and I really enjoyed it then and now

I enjoyed it too Peter.
Next to watch is "High Flight". I think I have seen it before, although not for a long time.

I mentioned in a post in December that I liked "633 Squadron," a film about a Mosquito squadron. It was shown today on a US cable channel, and I watched it again. They were bombing a rocket fuel factory, not a heavy water factory as I thought earlier. The film still stands up well.

During the 60's St. Paddy and I were on a family holiday at Lossiemouth. Some Mossies flew in off the Moray Firth. Always wondered if they were filming that film
