It is a 108! i saw it in "mosquito sqdn" and "633 sqdn", and further to that
it was in a flypast issue magaizine (dont ask me which one because it was a
few years ago!!).
But it is a Bf108!!

said, the chances of getting a REAL russian plane for the film would

be
pretty slim!


"Ice Station Zero" - a flight of four (?) MiG-21 models turns into a
real Phantom as it overflies the submarine.


I have a photo from 1981, holding that MiG 21 model (there was actually

only
one - the flight of four was only a flight of one, copied several times).

Its
quite large, perhaps 30" long or a bit more. The original model is in a
storeroom today in the San Diego Aerospace Museum.



Also didn't Donald
Pleasence get shot after James Gardner crashed theirs in 'The Great

Escape'?

I thought that was a Bucker Bu181 Bestmann (or a derivative), but I
might be wrong.


As Captain Tenneal would say, "Well, you're wrong." (Sticking my neck

out
here) I think its a 108. Dern few Bestmanns around. Anyone know for

sure?
