Ha, saw it today in standard format. Very loud, had to turn my ear aids down all the way. Agreed with others that the scene jumping was a PITA, however the effect of taking a small slice of the whole affair worked. The most constant thread was the Brit gent, his son and the nice pleasure boat Now to the aircraft, in one scene the spit is pounding the heinkel with slow firing canon, I believe at that point in the conflict canon had not been deployed on a spit. The Ju87's did appear to be doing strafing runs and did not drop multiple bombs from the trapeze as depicted. That last spit flying got enough glide distance out as though he started at fl60 and the wheel down dead stick on the beach is a far stretch. Final comment, no kidding, in the beginning that Brit lad started with a Mk 4 smle and ended with a jamming mk 3, IIRC. In my 55 plus years of Lee Enfields, never had a jam, that is why they are such great battle rifles
