James Garner and Donald Pleasance (sp?) appeared in the movie Great Escape, and flew a German Trainer. Single engine, low wing, side by side trainer with a large greenhouse canopy. Can anyone identify this aircraft? Thanks, Bruce  SignatureIPMS 44200 There's no place like 192.168.0.1 --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

We had the film 'Von Ryan's Express' on tv last week and they were painted a spurious gloss desert camouflage, also equipped with underslung rockets, trying to stop the train. <http://www.mikegrantdecals.com/Bf108Gall.html> Richard. I can't recall the designation, but it was a Bucker of some sort. Similar to the Bf-108, but has a fixed gear. > > James Garner and Donald Pleasance (sp?) appeared in the movie Great Escape, > > and flew a German Trainer.

The Kl.108 (?) was the Bestmann with a different eninge. Faller did an HO scale of it during the 1950s or early 1960s. > > I can't recall the designation, but it was a Bucker of some sort. > > Similar to the Bf-108, but has a fixed gear.

Mike G Ignore my post...I'm not right, remember it now, did have low wing, my bad. > > > I can't recall the designation, but it was a Bucker of some sort. > > > Similar to the Bf-108, but has a fixed gear.

It did show a crank start on the side of the engine cowling. No, wait, did have low wing, remember it now, my bad, sorry. Mike G. |
