The "Battle of Britain" has to be one of the best observed war movies ever made - its like being a rivet counter and finding well, rivets..

Am also loving "Kelly's Heroes" from the comedy aspect..

I actually have two favourites, 'The Longest Day', an epic film depicting the D Day landings. The other is an old black and white, 'The Cruel Sea', another classic about protecting the Atlantic convoys. The book is a fascinating read too...Cool Cool ,,

So many films although they don't appear as often as they did on tv these days.

Sea of sand i like and that was on tv yesterday. Its based on the lrdg in ww2.

The battle of the river plate is also a well made film.
Happy Modelling
