Other mistake: One of the taglines for this film was "Meet Jim Ferguson. He lived a daring double-life with one foot in the 20th century and the other in World War I." World War One was fought in the 20th century.

1 other mistake
Directed by: John Hough
Starring: Peter Cushing, Neil Dickson, Alex Hyde-White, Fiona Hutchison
Factual error: The aircraft are definitely post-WWI. Biggles is flying a De Havilland Tiger Moth, which appeared in 1930s. The German fighter is probably the PT-23 Stearman.
Biggles: What did they train you for?
Jim Ferguson: Cooking.
Question: How was Biggles able to land the helicopter on a moving train despite only just learning to fly it?
Answer: It would be virtually impossible for a novice pilot to be able to do this.
