New cadets train to be pilots with the Royal Air Force
There is a scene in this cold war drama where Kenneth Haigh flies his Percival P.56 Provost training aircraft down a river and momentarily chases an express. The train is formed of carmine and cream-liveried stock hauled by an ex-LNER B1 Class 4-6-0. Although it is not known exactly where this stunt was filmed it is believed to have been somewhere in Lincolnshire along either the Sleaford Canal or the nearby River Witham.
