Battle of Britain 75 – Pt.12 – RAF Biggin Hill's Day of Infamy, 30/08/40

by Elliott Marsh
The seven-week period from 18 August to October 1940 saw RAF Biggin Hill, Kent, facing the brunt of the Luftwaffe's campaign against Fighter Command's airfields in the southeast. In the course of the 16 bombing raids against the airfield, 43 people were killed and scores more wounded. Elliott Marsh looks at the events of 30 August 1940, during which dozens of men and women were killed in one brief raid by just nine German bombers.

Forwarded message - From: Vintage Wings 


Ladies and Gentlemen Aviators

75 Years ago this summer, fighter pilots of the Royal Air Force changed the course of history for Great Britain. Amongst the legendary "Few", were more than a hundred Canadians. Many died in the Battle, more lived to die later in the war and some made it home. Follow this link to learn more http://www.vintagewings.ca/en-ca/home.aspx

Video : The German

Thx Dirk for sharing
The German
About this video:
"Written and Directed by Nick Ryan
Starring Toby Kebbell and Christian Brassington

10 minute short film

www.thegermanmovie.com

A British fighter pilot pursues the german ace that shot down his friend across sky and country... with murder in mind. But he discovers it's not so easy to kill a man when you have to look them in the eye


This was funded by an Irish Film Board scheme called 'Short Cuts' and was shot in November 2007. The Budget was €70K, and was used entirely on the live action components of the film - leaving a grand total of ZERO for visual effects!

I completed all the visual effects shots, over 120 in total, entirely by myself. Dave Head modelled the aircraft (and truck), but I textured, lit, animated and composited the shots over a six month period in 2008."
