Alright mate, keep your hair on! I was only saying that I'd read a magazine article that told the story of filming with the Geneva based Electra. If you've got a problem why don't you write to 'Pilot' and take it up with them.
Nice flying, terrible movie.
Regards,

joe shepherd's plane is the plane on the movie poster, the dvd, and has flying scenes in the movie, and also provided the wrecked lockheed for the crash scene. yes a lot of filming was done with bernard's plane in south africa but joe shepherd is my father and i went with him for the filming for this movie, to get the facts straight. @CR4ZYHOR5E

Just finished reading an article in 'Pilot' magazine about the Electra that was used in the filming for Amelia - it wasn't this one. They used a french registered Electra, based in Geneva and it was flown by the son's owner (an AF 777 F/O), they did most of the aerial sequences in South Africa.
They did mention that some preliminary filming had been done using an Electra in Canada, but 90% of the Electra seq are of the french one in SA.
