Movie (1961)
Starring:
Edward Judd (Peter Stenning)
Janet Munro (Jeannie Craig)
Leo McKern (Bill Maguire)
Michael Goodliffe ('Jacko' Jackson - Night Editor)
Bernard Braden ('Dave' Davis - News Editor)
Reginald Beckwith (Harry)
When the U.S. and Russia unwittingly test atomic bombs at the same time, it alters the nutation (axis of rotation) of the Earth.
Hiller UH-12C
Registration G-AOFA, c/n 785. Delivered to Air Service Training Ltd in August 1956. Sold to Helicopter Services Ltd in June 1959. Withdrawn from use in October 1964. No link with the current company Helicopter Services seen in Ultimate Force.
Lockheed Constellation
Might be a L-049 or L-749A. Note that, except G-ANUR sold in July 1962, all the B.O.A.C's Constellations were removed from the park during the period 1955/1958.
'M' letter on the front landing gear. Two aircrafts could match:
G-AHEM a L-049 used by B.O.A.C from 1952 to 1954.
G-ALAM a L-749A which entered service with B.O.A.C in June 1948, and crashed in March 1954 at Singapore.
Therefore, it must be a pre-1954 archive. Another aircraft of the type in the background.
De Havilland DH106 Comet 1
All the Comet 1 or Comet 2 from B.O.A.C were removed for several years at the time of the film 1961. Must be an older picture.
Boeing 377-10-32 Stratocruiser
All the B.O.A.C's Stratocruisers were removed from the park in late 1959. Note the unusually large company titling.
