I saw it as a child during the War and have never forgotten it. It was an inspirational film at a time when things were going badly for us and made me a fan of the Super Marine Spitfire for life.

Very humorous well drawn characters who reminded me of the rag and bone men who drove their horses and carts through the streets of Kettering when I was a young schoolboy in the 1940's. Galton and Simpson were masters of their craft and knew how to extract comedy from almost any situation. Pity there are not many like them around in the 2020's
