Squadron Leader Canfield: The engine's overheating, and so am I! Either we stand down, or blow up! Now which do you want?
Warr. Off. Warrick: Put that cigarette out! The mains have gone, can't you smell gas?
Section Officer Maggie Harvey: Don't you yell at me, MR Warrick.
Squadron Leader Colin Harvey: Never let me catch you doing a victory roll over my airfield again. Understood?
Factual error: The door of the garage next to the house is of the aluminum up-and-over type, not available until the late 1960's.
Trivia: During the attack by Heinkels from Norway across the North Sea English Squadron Leader says "help yourself everybody, there's no fighter escort." In reality the Heinkels had an escort of twin engine Me 110s. In 1968 there were no airworthy Me 110s so the movie ignored them.
Question: Did Sgt. Pilot Andy loot the mantle clock he can be seen carrying when he is returning from helping to rescue bomb victims, to the refuge shelter?
