Wissenswertes
The modern phonetic alphabet for aircrew was set by NATO in 1956. The film uses older ones - George, Sugar, Fox, Oboe.

Patzer
Ealing built one of its largest ever sets to represent the interior of the newly built Europa Building in the central area of what was then known as London Airport. However, this terminal, as its name implies, served only short haul airlines, long haul services used the temporary structures alongside the A4 Bath Road (known as "North Side") until the Oceanic terminal (later renamed Terminal 3) opened in 1961. Thus there would have been no BOAC personnel (or passengers) in the Europa building, as portrayed in the film.

Zitate
Nick Millbourne: What's the trouble, Captain?
Captain Brent: I'm not happy about the port outer - she sounds a bit rough to me.
Nick Millbourne: Instruments check all right?
Captain Brent: Yes.
Nick Millbourne: The instrument say she's okay, the chief mechanic says she's okay...?
Captain Brent: Young man, let me tell you something. In the air, I am responsible for this aircraft and the lives of all on board her, and neither you nor anyone else - *including* the chairman of the corporation - is going to induce me to take her one inch off the ground until I am absolutely satisfied that she is in perfect order. Do I make myself clear?
Nick Millbourne: You make yourself clear.
Captain Brent: I'm right and you *know* I am. That's why I've flown more miles than anyone else on this airfield.
Nick Millbourne: [through gritted teeth] Of *course* you're right, Captain.

When Air Travel Was Glamourous

After enjoying the customer care experience arriving at Stansted Airport recently I was reminded of how air travel it's magic and romance in the past sixty years. I'd first saw this film over fifty years ago and a recent showing of it on the excellent Talking Pictures channel has reminded me of what a great film this was. A typical Ealing portmanteau film with several story lines for me as a lifelong plane spotter was to see the location shots at Heathrow with the BOAC Constellations and Stratocrusers on the tarmac was truly magic. and the next time that fly with Easyjet or Ryanair I'll try to imagine that I'm flying first class with BOAC
