Source for this was Robert Rudhall's 'Battle Of Britain - The Movie ' (2000) which contains exhaustive research into every aircraft involved.
I'll try to think of a new question during the day.... [img]redface.gif[/img]

That's a tough one. One thing is for sure, I haven't seen the movie. Any chance to find it on the web?

'The Purple Plain'(1954) with Gregory Peck is the correct answer ( and also a very good film if you haven't seen it...  )
