It is the Messerschmitt Bf 108 Taifun. http://messerschmitt-bf-108.wikiverse.org/media/0/09/messerschmitt_bf108.jpg |

Rather different shape than the 109, don't you think?... Thank's for the link, but it's odd to see a Messerschmitt with british RAF "cocarde" ![]() |

It is the Avro Anson, I think the Canadian built Mk.V. The right one is a standard Fieseler Fi 103, a flying bomb (today we would call it a Cruise Missile), which was also named V-1, short for 'Vergeltungswaffe 1' = 'Retaliation Weapon 1'. The left one is a piloted version, here the trainer version Fieseler Fi 103 A-1/Re III 'Reichenberg III'. The following version 'Reichenberg IV' would have been armed with explosives. The idea was to get the bomb on course close to the target and then the pilot would bale out. Was never used. |

hard to believe now, but genuine Mosquitos were written off/set on fire in this movie,in 1968, the year before this movie was made,the last Mosquitos had just been withdrawn from service with the RAf and some were available to be used to destruction. |
