What's left behind the scenes
- The flashback scenes, which took place in Poland, were filmed in the UK because winter in Eastern Europe was warm and snowless.
- The aerial combat scenes were filmed using mock-ups of Hurricane fighter fuselages, full-scale mock-ups of the fighters themselves, one actual fighter (only 9 remain in the world), and digital technology.
- White Waltham Airport west of London served as the location for the RAF base in Northolt, because there were too few buildings remaining in Northolt from World War II, while Northolt still has earth runways with grass growing on them.
