This is one of the greatest in-flight tracking shots of all time. The pitch out to a wingover, held center frame, was a thing of beauty.
Note: Historical composition was used in this scene. It is based on the actions of two different Hurricane pilots, a Me 110, and a Do 17 that crashed near Victoria station.
