| This was the view from the hotel we stayed at in the desert |
 |
| The location we shot the plane crash |
 |
| Terry Bridle taking detailed photos of the Stearman model before the crash |
 |
| The Stearman is fixed to the dolly rig |
 |
| Three quarter rear view |
 |
| The effects crew start to rig the track |
 |
| Track is in position (background)- the prop works and the engine is for real |
 |
| The edited sequence in the movie. |
| The track provides the inertia for the Stearman and the engine gives the plane that extra push when it is released from the rig, Terry had a radio controlled box that crashes it to the ground towards the camera. |
 |
| The Stearman rests on top of the camera hide (camera is sunken into the ground as it looks up at a 45 degree mirror) |
 |
| Madox's Tiger Moth pilot Clive Watson, Richard Conway in the background. |
 |
 |
| I photographed the Tunisian Desert in a helicopter at approx 700 feet with my 4x5" plate camera with a view to creating a large CGI envoirnment later at Digital Film, London for the flaming parachute sequence but the section was cut from the film. |

| Clive couldn't resist buzzing the crew |
