Pic 64. Now, Neville sits in the cockpit of a spitfire, parked on the ground. Charlie, standing on the wing, goes over the controls with him. Peter Hudson stands nearby. PANEL ABOVE: THAT AFTERNOON, PETER WAS KEEN TO START PRINCIPLE PHOTOGRAPHY. SCENES WOULD BE SHOT OUT OF SEQUENCE, AND THE FIRST WOULD INVOLVE NEVILLE’S CHARACTER FLYING A SPITFIRE. CHARLIE: THAT CONTROLS THE FLAPS, AND THE RED BUTTON FIRES THE MACHINE GUNS. THEY’RE EMPTY JUST NOW, OF COURSE. NEVILLE: SEEMS STRAIGHT FORWARD ENOUGH. THANKS, BOYD. Pic 65. The film crew, headed by Peter, are about to go for a take. Peter shouts through a megaphone. Camera, boom mike, lights, etc are trained on Neville in the spitfire cockpit. PANEL ABOVE: UNDER PETER’S DIRECTION, THE FILM GOT UNDERWAY. PETER: READY, EVERYONE? LIGHTS, CAMERA… ACTION! 32
Pic 66. Neville acts inside the cockpit. He makes a good job of it, a convincing performance of a pilot in the thick of a dogfight. Charlie watches, at the side of the frame. PANEL ABOVE: IN THIS SCENE, NEVILLE’S CHARACTER WAS IN THE MIDST OF A BATTLE OF BRITAIN DOGFIGHT. CHARLIE WATCHED THE FILMING INTENTLY. NEVILLE: STEADY, CHAPS. CLOSE FORMATION, AND WATCH OUT FOR THAT FLAK. IT’S SO THICK YOU COULD GET OUT AND WALK ON IT! CHARLIE THX: I MUST ADMIT HE IS A GOOD ACTOR – EVEN IF HE DOES STEAL HIS LINES FROM ELSEWHERE! Pic 67. A different angle. Perhaps Neville stares straight at us, his face a mask of concentration. He stabs at the gun button. PANEL ABOVE: NEVILLE PERFORMED THE SCENE SEVERAL TIMES, UNTIL THE DIRECTOR WAS HAPPY. NEVILLE: EAT LEAD, FRITZ! PETER’S VOICE: CUT! PRINT THAT! 33
