Yes I believe you are right.

Maybe I'm thinking of the aircraft lined up on the apron when James Garner and Donald Pleasence make their escape, although the aircraft they steal does turn out to be authentic: a Bucker Bestmann.

I saw one fly at the Reno air races a couple of years ago. I wonder if it was the same one?

I see what you did there..


B.t.w. the "Buecker Bestmann" was still used decades later for aerobatics, produced by the czech company "Zlin".

Hold it! We can have actors playing parts but planes aren't allowed to play parts in pretend warfare for entertainment?

Not when the movie is supposed to be historiclly accurate when it's being watched by history lovers, it's just about as bad as when in the movie Pearl Harbor there where modern USN destoryers in the background and no-one tried to make them look like WW2 tin cans!

The movie "The Enemy Below" might be the second best UBoat movie I have ever seen, but the Uboat shown and commanded by Kurt Jürgens was one with, ähm, a bit too much space inside to be a German one, but come on... There weren't too much left in the '50...

The Hunt for Red October has a rather optimistic view of a Typhoon SSBN control room.


The real thing


The starship Enterprise


Although in their defence, few people probably had an idea of what the inside of a Soviet SSBNs control room looked like in 1990.

I always found Patton to be an aptly named movie.

A decade later things stepped up a bit with the Leopard playing Tiger in A Bridge Too Far. (At least they're both named after cats)
