I have seen this. It's wonderful. Beautiful cinematography. Emotional at the end.

Watched this and Hurricane (film based on 303 squadron) the same night. Great evening.

Looks interesting. Now I'm looking forward to it too. Meanwhile I'll see your Spitfire and raise you:

I'm watching it with mum tomorrow,it looks very good.

Not sure about Hurricane though. That 'Lancaster' short film is very good.

'Spitfire' is great. What is poignant though is three of the main contributors talking about their experiences in the Battle of Britain all died in the short period between completion and release. 'Boy' Wellum, Tom Neil & Mary Ellis.

As to 'Hurricane', I thought it rather poor compared to the British TV version of the tale; 'Bloody Foreigners'

Hurricane - I thought the ground scenes fell into the category of 'just another recent film' and the aerial scenes 'poor'. Very disappointing overall.
