Hawker Hurricane I
Star of the movie with the underground operations room, several aircraft were used some in flight, and some others just on the ground.

Of course a little anachronism as the G variant reach front line units on the eve of 1943. This one is a night fighter (see the attach for deleted aerials of the Lichtenstein radar).
Scrapped just after the filming ... How many museum and collector are crying today of such a fate !
