Der Stern von Afrika,

It could be a scene from the 1950's German film, but it's not!
Ollie, I remember you saying how much you liked Merlin powered 109's, well I like the Hispano engine ones better.

Good show Glenn.

So, did you ever see that movie?  I'd like to see it one day.

And by the way, real Messerschmitts have Merlins!

Congratulations, Glenn!

Ollie, real 109's have Merlins, cause there are no Hispano engine ones left!
As to the movie, I know it's out in video, but I don't know about DVD? It would be great to watch, and I don't even speak German, but it's the aircraft you watch.
The last 'aviation' movie I watched was "The first of the few", with David Niven, now that would be great on DVD!

There are a few with DB engines, but nothing beat's the Buch­­ón's smile!
