Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Filmed at the real East Kirkby airfield, home to the only airworthy Lancaster in Europe—production had a 30-minute daily window before museum crowds arrived.
RAF Bomber Command's 55,573 dead were denied a campaign medal until 2013; the film's release marks the decade of that belated recognition.
