Guys, The shot in the film was of the replica crashed B-17 the props people built, it was suprisingly spooky that they built the mock up first then the incident happened with F-BEEA and it looked the same as the mock up.
I have a whole load of photos from the filming as I was there.

That's interesting, I was there during the filming & have quite a few pictures of all 5 in formation... :wink:
