The top mistakes in Battle of Britain http://www.moviemistakes.com/film1691 en Sat, 06 Sep 2008 05:55:10 +0000 11157 It is 1940. Two pilots come out of a house - one of them has just lost his wife and family in the London Blitz, the other is an RAF Squadron Leader. The door they come out of has a modern electric bell push - a post 1965 version, white rectangular box with a round button. 13468 In an early scene, there are some Spitfires which catch fire. They burn fiercely like the fabric covered Hurricane not the metal skinned Spitfire. Quote from my mother who served in WW2 on a Naval Air Station and saw them both burn. "Those Spitfires are burning like Hurricanes". 40566 When Goring arrives at Calais by train, you notice there is a huge mountain in the background. There are no mountains anywhere near Calais. 11709 The door of the garage next to the house is of the aluminum up-and-over type, not available until the late 1960's (if it had been around in 1940 it would have been melted down to make aeroplanes!) 18729 When the Polish pilots are on a training mission before they were made operational they are shown in loose flying formation. Hurricanes are in the forefront but in the background you can clearly see that the rest of the squadron are flying Me-109 which were German aircraft.
