Here is part 1

I dont know about you guys but growing up I watched this movie over and over and over. Speaking of Memphis Belle, here is the REAL Memphis Belle:

The Belle is currently undergoing restoration for eventual static display in the USAF Museum at Dayton, Ohio.

So, who can get the random movie trivia; the male lead of "Memphis Belle", and the excellent Kubrick movie "Full Metal Jacket", was actor Matthew Modine.

What else links the two films? A clue: it's geographical... Wink

Coconut for a correct answer...

Um i can only think that both were filmed here in the UK. Some of Memphis Belle was filmed at RAF Binbrook, an ex work colleague of mine was an extra.
