I thought Stuka's had an automatic dive pull out mechanism? This was because pilots could black out from theG force from a dive

Can someone just explain to me that little trick that the skipper of that little boat did when the Stuka started its run. He kept saying wait, wait, then "now" and the Stuka crashed into the sea. How did a sudden change of direction by the boat cause the plane to crash?

Saw it last night and HATED it.
Am coming to the conclusion that I'm not a film/cinema person. Can't remember the last night I enjoyed a film at the flicks.
Vowed not to go again.
Thought Harry Styles was competent though.

What a stupid criticism, so there weren't 300,000 on the beach, couldn't you have at least used your imagination or do you expect movies to be exact in every fucking detail, you must be a cunt to live with
By the way, the real Lord Gort wasn't really on the beach either, boo hiss movie makers out

Re: Dunkirk

I saw the film. It was excellent BUT
No way were there 300,000 troops on the beach in the shots intended to show the scale of the army. More like 10,000.
And there were supposed to be hundreds of small boats in the rescue, not the dozen or so shown in the film.
They scaled it down, probably because of cost. Disappointing.

How many ports do you have to go past to get to fucking Dorset?

Re: Dunkirk

yeah. why would you not go and drop them off at the closest port?
So all your eggs are not in one basket and all those rescued, don't get wiped out in one air raid.
To say nothing of capacity at the closet port to receive all those ships/men.

AS an important port, Weymouth played its part in receiving troops from Dunkirk during the Second World War.
On May 26 1940,Operation Dynamo, the evacuation from Dunkirk, began. Vessels from Weymouth and Portland were called to help lift British and allied troops from the French beaches.
Smaller vessels headed for Weymouth from France, whilst troopships sailed for Southampton, and coasters for Poole. Numerous refugees from Europe arrived at Weymouth and Portland harbours during the evacuation, and special trains took refugees from Weymouth Quay to London Paddington.
Between May 8 and June 3, the Great Western Railway Chief Docks Manager at Weymouth reported the arrival at Weymouth of more than 3,700 refugees and ‘hundreds of bicycles’.

My Grandad had a similar experience... queued up on the mole for hours only for the destroyer he got on to be sunk from underneath him. Direct hit in the engine room from a Stuka which was horrific by all accounts.
He got out with his brother on another destroyer eventually.
He also did his bit of peacekeeping. He was in the Coldstreams from about 1935 but ended up in the police in Palestine prewar before being called up as a reservist back into the Coldstreams in Sept '39.

One thing that stuck out like a sore thumb: youre trying to pilot a little boat packed full of geezers covered in oil back to England. Where do you go?
Dorset.
