Biggles is a good movie. It's just hidden inside a bad movie. I love the real aircraft, the real mud, the real explosions. I even love the time travel aspect because it's such fun seeing Biggles flying a helicopter (classic line: "If you can fly a Camel, you can fly anything.") And it's so poignant seeing Colonel Raymond as an old man remembering Biggles as a youth. Peter Cushing did a marvellous job there in his last role.

(It's now nearly half as long since that film was made as it was between WW1 and the making of the film. Where does the time go?)

They got so much of it right - Marie becoming a nurse, VS was suitably evil, Bertie was mentioned in one of the hard-to-find WW1 stories, and while Ginger wasn't, they had him in his proper role as a mechanic.

And then they messed it all up with the American time-twin garbage.
