Just started watching, and thought Id share as it looks good (despite the ridiculously upper class accents), it seems like some sort of reconstruction/documentry/propaganda mashup from 1942- looks like it might have some decent sunderland and catalina action....
Figured Jim would appreciate it at least... enjoy:salute:

Yeah the acting is awful and dialouge is obviously dumbed down for the masses, but some of the footage is great and very rare.

'The planes' is why i watched it, not much footage of those aircraft types knocking about. :)

Some of the old docudramas were awful from an acting and script perspective. The aircraft footage is the gem here though.
