Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe specialist hospital for burned pilots is based on the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead which specialised in experimental reconstructive plastic surgery during the war. The social club and mutual support network of the burned pilots was called the Guinea Pig Club.
- GoofsWing Commander Turner selects airman Greville Woods to fly a night reconnaissance mission using a new camera that can photograph heat but as his Spitfire is out of action he is given Andrew Foyle's instead and flies off that evening. However both men are fighter pilots. A standard Spitfire fighter would be useless for reconnaissance and it would takes several days at least to refit it to take any type of camera. For reconnaissance missions, specially fitted out planes were used that had cameras in the belly and wings instead of armaments. These were flown by dedicated reconnaissance pilots who were trained on how to take photographs from the air.
- Quotes
Anne Bolton: Sam told me Greville had been hurt. She told me I should visit him, but it was only when I was there, I realized I didn't want to. Does that sound very cool to you, sergeant Milner? I can't see him, I should want to see him, I want the Greville Woods I was in love with, the Greville I was going to marry. I tried to make myself visit him, that's why I was there that night, but I couldn't do it, I couldn't face him.
Sergeant Paul Milner: Thank you, miss Bolton.
Anne Bolton: You think I'm disgusting?...
Sergeant Paul Milner: No... But I will speak out of term, if you don't mind. This
[pointig at his leg]
Sergeant Paul Milner: is fake, it's aluminium. I lost most of my leg in Trondheim last year. I was a mess, when they carried me home, maybe not as badas your fiancé, but there was massive scarring everywhere.
Anne Bolton: I'm sorry.
Sergeant Paul Milner: You shouldn't be. I'm the man I was before, I haven't changed.
Anne Bolton: And what are you saying? That Greville is still the same?...
Sergeant Paul Milner: He won't be, if you leave him.
