| sadly did not get to go in a B17......- it was a mad day,
there were a load of final year students on the site , we were building & painting sets, props and scenery as part of our last year of the degree course.... we had been on the location for aobut 10 days and on the last day as they were filming a group of people came over from the production team asking us if we wanted to be in the film as extras... ...... we all had smiles on our faces- thinking we would see our name in lights, the fame the fortune, the stardom......the equity card !
but in reality i am in the film for about 8 seconds along with 6 other blokes walking between two vehicles as the plane in the foreground is being readied for another flight !- it looks like a goroup of ants walking across the screen !
so dont get eye strain looking out for me !- needless to say we killed several days during the filming just being on hand if anything got damaged and or needed touching up or rebuilt...... but it was a great experience..... but i will never be a movie star !
however it was a great pre cursor to the prop and effects work i did later for londons burning !
