Most of the photos and short clips I have seen from "First Light" are clearly from the Battle of Britain Movie. In particular they feature the Spitfires marked with the non historical Squadron ID "AI" .

The non-historical "AI" ID was partially used to avoid just the sort of long arguments you get on forums like this about which historical squadron was involved in which action.

Either way the footage for "First Light" is not necessarily using historical tactics its from a movie.
