Leif, I think Garry was refering to the Elliotts comments about initials in his name and not the actual Aircraft! Correct me if I'm wrong Garry :roll:

Sorry there is not more but I am sure what little there is if if turns will be passed on by whoever finds it.

Good luck with the project

Actually, not a bad film although not as good as the book by David Beaty. The plot centres around take off 'unstick' problems 'a la' Comet at Rome and Calcutta(?) BOAC/CanPac respectively.)

I think the aircraft used in that movie was Avro Ashton WB493.

Pic of the aircraft turned up on an auction site

Fairly common this one but might be new to some
