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.

One thing (of many) that always bugged me about that movie was the fact that the had five flying B-17s, yet you never see more than two or three together in the air. The mass formation shots were all done with miniatures and matte paintings (since the movie was pre-CGI.)

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