    You can't get anyone better to introduce your film than Edward Fox, he's always such a delight in whatever film he's in. Even in b-movies like Wild Geese 2 he's hilarious, or Never Say Never Again and he's very memorable in the great Shaka Zulu series

      It's the start of the film "The Battle of Britain", ironically starting with the closing stages of the Battle of France in 1940. France has just fallen, the Royal Air Force is evacuating France as the British realise they will require all their remaining fighter planes when they intend to fight on alone and defeat the Germans against all odds.
      As the RAF are evacuating, the Luftwaffe strafe their remaining planes which are already out of action. Watch the film, it depicts one of the 3 or 4 crucial battles of WW2.
