Was that the one they used for recon?

Yes, that's the one. I used to know the identity of both MkIX's that shoot up the German car in Longest Day, but I can only remember MH434 being one of them. I'm sure the other is still flying though.

Now you've got me really confused.

I'm sure I've seen it in colour too. Maybe they originally filmed it in colour but decided to show it in B&W. I'm sure that would be easier to do than colour the whole thing afterwards.

It was filmed in B&W and the colour version is one of those that has been colourised. I've seen this done to a number of B&W films and I'm not convinced it makes them look any better.

I've got a copy of 'The Longest Day', and it's in black and white.

Thanks Andrew. Everything I've read confirms this. It was me who suggested otherwise & my memory is not what it used to be. I could easily have been confusing it with another film. Wink

According to IMDb it's in black and white http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056197/.

Colorizing should be outlawed.
