Very good portrayal. They got the flight gear right too. Note the chamois leather switch-cover on the mouthpiece. That bit alone which is attached to the face mask would set a collector back in excess of £800 - if you can find one. Most of the in-flight footage was taken from the 1969 Battle of Britain film

The ability of the newcomer to stay with his leader was crucial to survival in those initial scrambles.

Thanks for this - I've now read the book (excellent), and managed to track down the docu-drama. Great stuff!
