WW2 desert Hurricane pilot

[Moggy]

Thanks for posting these biltongbru. I do have a question for Mr. Finney regarding the Hurricane Mk.I and Mk.II startup. My questions is this;

Before you started the engine of the Hurricane Mk.I, did you have to switch the fuel tank selector switch to the reserve (gravity) tank or was it possible to start the engine on the main tank? In the pilot notes and the Ferry Pilot notes, it states that the Hurricane Mk.I had to be started on the reserve tank whereas the Hurricane Mk.II could be started on the main tank. Unfortunately I've never had the opportunity to ask a Hurricane pilot if this was the case.

Many thanks.

Thanks for these interviews, I have started watching the desert Hurricane series, and enjoyed the Stuka pilot interview that was posted before on the channel.

I will say that I myself would put less or no music/sound effects into the piece, and just let the pilot's words tell the story, in my view they can add too much artistic licence/atmosphere to something which is more about documenting history, and can interfere with the story - the graphics however are more acceptable in that regard and can help someone visualise the situation.

Thanks again.

Thanks Tinus - a brilliant job, as always!

I now realise why you've been "quiet" for awhile!!

It makes me wonder whether you should think of come up to Durban and interview, and make a video on, my "Arnhem men"

This is the very best Interview-Video, thus far, incorporating your use of IL-2 (and now COD) video footage, including your cutting-edge skills in excellent green-screening techniques, in 'visualizing' the aerial combat action discussed in the Interviews! Superb. It outclasses most, if not all, of the History Channel and Military Channel documentaries of this sort. I've calculated that 28% of the screen time in this Bomb Finney Interview consists of IL-2/COD footage. That is a significant portion of the piece.

This video serves to demonstrate the great possibilities available in the use FlightSim 'footage' to tell a documentary story of the sort for which History Channel(s) utilizes very expensive and complex CGI.

Another very long feather in your Cap, Biltongbru!!!

S!
