Filming Douglas C-47 Skytrain
Added 2019-05-11 19:37:32 +0000 UTCHey all,
Today I filmed at the Yorkshire Air Museum, taking a look at the Douglas C-47 Skytrain, or Dakota if you are Commonwealth.
Filming all the outside shots, we sadly had to take a break due to sudden showers. Tomorrow we will continue with the interior shots!
Thanks a lot for your support, you make these episodes possible!

2019-05-19 16:59:55 +0000 UTCIn 1943, legendary Hollywood director William Wyler crafted MEMPHIS BELLE, a celebrated tribute to the titular WWII bomber. There is a movie having a one day release which you might find interesting. Using footage shot by Wyler from the National Archives that was use to produce the Memphis Belle during WW2, director Erik Nelson has made a new film, featuring gripping narration from some of the last surviving B-17 pilots. A meditation on youth, war and stunning bravery.

2019-05-11 23:49:13 +0000 UTCI am really looking forward to seeing this. The C-47was the plane my father spent most of his time in during WW2. I have a few old photos of him in the C-47.
