Saw this movie in 1964 at a Cleveland Theater, it was second on the bill with A Hard Days Night. This is one of my Favorite Films, Those planes were Awsome. Thanks
At Elvington Yorkshire Air Museum near York there is a Mosquito that was used in one of the crash sequences, it lived for years abandoned and unloved on the film back lot until a bloke bought it, restored in his back yard and loaned it to the air museum. Get on down it's a fantastic day out and I mean a day. It's a whole wartime RAF station with a complete Halifax some Buccaneer, an ME 109 and a Victor amongst other things
According to Rons interview in FlyPast Sept `95 he used the title of the film 663 to come up with this tune-six short beats followed by three long beats,da da da da da da daa daa daa and so on.
Well, technically, you are correct. It entered service in December 1940 as the fastest prop aircraft in the world at the time. Unsure it held that record for tho.. Incredible aircraft, recon at 30,000 feet down to bombing raids as low as 30 feet. Incredible payload of 4,000lbs. Not bad for an aircraft made entirely of wood.. Frightened the living shit out of the Germans... That gets my vote (0;
somebody please correct me if im wrong here had a bit of heated discution at work today 21/10/11 i say that the mossy wa the fastest aircraft for around 2 and a half years of ww2 the lads disagreed i like to think there isnt much i dont know about ww aircraft and ww2 in general any constructive comments would be welcome as i have a £10 bet on this .
@tc030564 Yes you are correct from 1941 the mosqueto (415 mph) was the fastest aircraft untill the P51-D mustang (437 mph) arrived in the spring of 1944,The German Messerschmitt - 262 (559 mph) also came into service in 1944 making it the fastest aircraft of the war (i dont know about the commet because there is no record of it's top speed) i should point out there are web site's that talk about the spitfire XI reaching (422 mph) but i'm not sure what date it was introduced.i hope this helps...
No, I knew of him of course, what will Telstar and working with several UK bands. I think he had a recording studio in Islington. London. Very keen on synths and electronics, but a life that ended sadly. I'm not famous but I'm still at it!
I have great respect for composer Ron Goodwin and it is my pleasure to have recorded this and other pieces of Ron's orchestral conducting at Westward TV studios in Plymouth in the 1970s
@chriswherry Your a recording engineer did you know joe meek ? I know a guy that was a recording engineer in new york at NBC he worked on the perry como show and with mancini and others he did hullabaloo but he didnt like rock music benny goodman wanted him to be his engineer but he went off and did the japan olympics
Incredible aircraft. The most versatile aircraft of the second world war.

Remember reading that to kill a Mosquito recon aircraft counted as two kill's for the Luftwaffe they we're so difficult to catch.

Marvellous tune, fitting the flight of the Mosquito perfectly. Flew in one once, back in the 60s: a positively orgasmic experience!
