THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN movie photos from a Spanish website
view the original website here: http://www.jaon.es/batallainglaterra/batallainglaterra.htm

That webpage has reproductions of a Spanish article on the movie from their Plane magazine, November 1969 (written by Canario Azaola).
The photos below feature a Spanish pilot involved in the movie. It is believed that he was one of the Me-109 pilots, and is said to have
been the one who flew the 109 close to the ground during the strafing run portrayed on the "French" airfield in the beginning of the movie.
