"Don't just stand there, get one up", awesome video with some nice facts about the movie's production well done.

Love the original movie dearly but really love to see an epic Battle of Britian movie with today's digital tech.

Repeat please…

I was around 10yrs Old when the filming for this Movie was being Done. And a Remember a Glorious Summer Sky filled with Fighters & Jerry Bombers flying over M&D's house in Benfleet Essex. My Mother was rather Reluctant to watch when a Gaggle of Bombers came over..! At that age, it didn't dawn on me She was having 'Flashbacks' to 1940. She was living in Stratford London in 1940..! I however was Running around with Grand Dad's Old Helmet on..! Having a Ball in the 60's. He a wounded Vet from WW1, so was an ARP warden for WW2. Dad took me to the Movies Twice to Watch the Movie. Mum didn't want to go at all..! Time with Dad Alone without Mum was a very Rare Event..! And of Course Grand Dad's 'Junk Shed' was an Anderson Shelter..! That was Out in the Sticks in Benfleet too..! That Music still gives me 'Goose bumps' nearing 70 years of age..! Nice Models, well Done. Cheers All from Downunder. 🦘

TIL. Thanks!

Your Stuka is the later model not used in 1940 with the smaller intake

The best versions of the film are obviously the unedited prints. "Good afternoon my ar*e.....! Nice models, made up nicely. Excellent job.

Thought they were 109 types behind the Hurricanes in the 'Repeat Please' scene. When freeze framed though I could see RAF roundals. Today I learn they are Buchon Spanish aircraft, and the rest you explained, thanks. I've looked up 'Buchon plane' for more information. Useful.

I had thought you would actually film a game. Oh well. Nice models. Thank you for the notes on the movie.

One of the Heinkels flew over our school when they were filming, naturally all us boys could id it immediately

I remember seeing this at my local Odeon. There was a circular staircase to the gallery and they had hung a net across the atrium and filled it with all manner of model kits, some appropriate, some ... maybe not quite to "period" but it sure made an impression.

Had this model in dog fight double with a red Fokker triplane. The Fokker was moulded in colour red !

Exceptional weathering job on the Z

Some really nice models on show, thanks for uploading

Absolutely superb and some great model making to bring such a great idea to life. Take a well deserved bow.

Simply wonderful. I had forgotten what the album poster looked like, brings back great memories:)

Top notch film that was a revelation to me with so many good aircraft. I was nearing the end of my plastic kit career. In those days 1/72 kits cost $.50 and 1/48 were $1. WWII warbirds of course. It was starting to be mandatory that to buy model glue, one had to buy a model kit! This to placate the authorities trying to prevent fools from sniffing the solvents therein. It was also one of those periodic proscriptions of any “war toys” in stores. Mind you, for us, older brothers were being drafted & sent to Vietnam. I wasn’t called up but I still have my draft card. What strange times.

Brilliant!😂

Awesome. Iconic film with a great soundtrack. The Luftwaffe March and William Walton's Battle in the Air are incredible

He podido ver de cerca en la base aérea de Tablada, donde fueron rodadas algunas secuencias de esta película, a un He111 y un messersmitt buchón que participaron en esta película.

That's Air Vice Marshall Park!

Great job!Loved the models,and the film.Saw it in 1969 aged 11.Also got the album!Never tire of watching this film.

The film is pretty much THE ww2 movie of all time and is over 50 years old, no one could replicate this film now.

Excellent video. A ton of hard work went into making this presentation. Nicely done and be very proud of your video. 😊😊😊

Very interesting, well researched. The integrity of authentification for the film was impressive, one of the reasons why this remains in my mind the best of the WWII flight movies.

2:12 - Showing Hurricane with a Superman 1 movie sounding tune. I noticed that later on when I watched b of b again few years ago

First time seeing this 1 AUGAST 2024……. I’ve been really getting into the BATTLE of BRITAIN lately…. The History behind it…. The Leaders…. And of course THE AIRCRAFT !!!!!!!!! I have a series of 1/72 MODEL KITS of the Aircraft From AIRFIX , REVELL I’m talking about VINTAGE MODEL KITS… No matter what, they’re still great model kits to build……. VINTAGE MODELS ON ….. CHRIS 🇺🇸

Saw the movie when it was first released in 1969. I was at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus at the time and being an RAF station you can imagine how big the queues were to get in to see the movie. A movie i never tire of watching.

Great video well done!

Thank you for this sharing: I knew the existence of these kits as I had the ambulance when I was younger but I never saw the other vehicles until today. 🤩👍

This is really cool! Thanks for sharing!

Very creative and well done project. Great info on the film, which has always been a favorite of mine. Cheers!

A very nice collection. I remember seeing this film in Brisbane when it was released, I was about 13 or 14 years of age. Being an avid WW2 aircraft nut even back then I immediately spotted the Buchon's and although I had no idea they existed I was most incensed that the Bf109's had their engine exhausts up high rather than down low where they should've been. Later in life I found out the details through the Internet and then purchased the 2 disk set of the movie and have watched it regularly over the years. I recall walking out of the cinema into the foyer and seeing Dinky Toys Spitfire Mk11 and I think Bf109 models with retractable undercart and other wondrous things and not coming near to having enough money to buy them....this I rectified later in life also.

Still the best aerial scenes ever filmed and could not be repeated today.

Oh the irony🤪. CASA HA-2111s had merlin engines? Top hole. Peeling off red leader......

I had problems building the ambulance as half of the front axle and the pin that holds the spare wheel in place just hadn't molded.

Thank you very much for this very nice video with all these interesting informations about this classic movie! Can we hope for a future version including the Bf-108 and the Ju-52 too?

Why did they take the trouble to cammo them and then put those bloody great big shiny white letters on them?

In 1969 or maybe 1970 I saw this film for the first time as a lad 0f 10 0r 11 years old. It led to an immediate trip to the library to find some youth history books about it. One book I read was about the "Eagle" squadrons of Yanks who flew for the RAF during the battle. I have been a lifelong amateur WW2 historian ever since. I still will try to watch this film every year. Brilliant acting, cinematography, and of course the flying! Thanks for the beautiful models and the information about the actual facts.

THANKS FOR SHARING!! I Can't Believe There's Still One Flying From The Battle Of Britain! I'll Never See One But It's Still Nice To Know It's There!

Beautifully done.

Brilliant, thank you.

Oh yes, and I wish I could buy a real Spitfire for £25!!, how times have changed!

It's a fantastic movie, one of my personal top 5, infact I only watched it just over a week ago. Now I'm going to have to watch it again, just so I can spot the differences that you've pointed out!

What about the Percival Proctors converted into Stukas that were not used after conversion

Flying officer ‘Dickie’ Lee of 85 Squadron was demonstrating a Hawker Hurricane to some ‘brass’ at Debden around the time of the Battle of Britain. The ground crew had to pick grass out of his radio antenna. He later went missing over the English Channel.

Excellent presentation. it was good to learn some details about the aircraft used in the flying sequences. The video would have been extra jolly if the turntable had been rotating clockwise for the RAF models and anti-clockwise for the Luftwaffe models.

Great models and fascinating info. Thanks.

What aspect of the Hurricane II’s appearance needed to be changed to make it resemble a Mk.1, apart from the paint scheme?

It's extraordinary the difference between British and American film makers in the lengths they go to, to make it real... Battle of the Bulge was made in what was virtually a desert in summer without a single real German tank. The original Dunkirk film included actual footage from Dunkirk. There's was the Glory featured many men who were actually involved in Market Garden.
