  ....in their flying machines. Now showing on Film4 channel. Lots of brilliant shots of Dover.

  My first job after coming out of the army was taking bread and bread rolls to each site they were filming.

  Ah it is a good film that.. hugely enjoyable. I used to enjoy it long before i knew anything about Dover, then when I came here a whole new level of interest was aroused in spotting the places.
  
  But the film itself is great...
  All those stiff upper lipped English in their striped blazers are awfully spiffing!!
  
  Well done with the picture Kath. Very interesting to see Eric Sykes etc.
