You will be amazed at the mileage Tom Hardy gets out of his Spitfire.

About 1/2 hour flying after the engine cuts out. That will give Ryan Air ideas

There was an 18year old from Shoreham who was one of the casualties. Every year when we have the memorial dinner, I make of point of looking for his photo.

He was possibly the son of our next door neighbours when I lived with my parents in the late forties and the fifties. I'm not sure if it is ethical to mention the family name on an open forum.

Not really - given that there are somewhat confusing parallel timelines taking place in the movie - the beach scenes occur
over a week, moonstone (one of the little ships) over one day and the flying scenes over one hour. The timelines converge at the end of the movie.
