The crew is to be commended for producing such a low budget film successfully, but my main problem was with some errors which anyone who served in the RAF would find unacceptable. I realize that there aren't too many veterans of WW2 around, but surely someone in the crew had an elderly grandfather around who could have given advice, or there must be books detailing correct procedure. I served in the RAF 12 years after the end of WW2, and can still remember the rules and pecking order.

The two main problems I had were with the saluting, and the fraternization. Officers of equal rank did not salute each other, and one did not salute unless wearing a hat, or beret. No one went outside with the head uncovered, and hats were not worn indoors. Thankfully, the saluting did not generate to the sloppy American style of brushing the fingertips across the eyebrows, at least they got that right. Officers and other ranks did not fraternize off duty. It was not allowed, nor could officers use the sergeants' mess on a casual basis. I have not got to the insignia of rank, but you get the idea. Many period films today, it appeared tohave been made by people who were not born for another 50 years. At least they did not make the common mistake of the characters, including women, using four letter words, and leaping into bed on the first date.

Perhaps I am being pedantic, and unfairly picking apart a film dedicated to the tens of thousands of heroic men and women who served and died in the war, but a little research would have made a big difference.

Unlike the wood varnish, Ronseal, this film doesn't do "exactly what it says on the tin" so to speak. I was expecting less action, due to the small budget and more of a deep character study on the protagonist. What I watched was a tedious boring slog of pretty much nothing. Dear writer/director: if you're going to do a film about the inner, psychological struggles of a pilot and the death of his brother you need to clue the audience in on what exactly he's going through in his head, we're not mind readers, this isn't a novel where you can spend ten pages on how the character feels insode, you need to show us how he's feeling, whats going on in his head.

I can't stress this enough, this isn't a movie...nothing..NOTHING happens, nothing of any consequence happens in the film. The main character is seriously underdeveloped and one dimensional, as are all the characters. There is no story here, it's a few pilots drinking in a pub, thats about it.

There's a flashback near the start with a young boy and I thought it was the protagonist as a child, but it later turns out that the boy is the protagonists brother....poor filmmaking. The setup to the inner motivation of the hero is so poorly done to, I didn't experience much of the bond between him and his little brother and I didn't experience the death at all of him, it's not even in the film and that's supposed to be the motivation for the entire film, seriously? soooo bad!

The acting is poor, the only credible thing is special effects given the small budget, though there is one shot of the planes engine getting hit near the and it's clearly a small model but other than that it was pretty impressive.

I am hard of hearing and wear hearing aids.Normally I can make out dialogue reasonably well.However I found much of the dialogue under recorded and totally unintelligible.That's when it was made impossible by the loud score.A really poor effort.
