Photos of my L-4 during movie filming

[L-4Pilot]

Guys'

They were shooting a movie during Operation Cobra of the Breakout from Normandy. The movie is "Red Rose of Normandy". Here are a couple of shots of the L-4 taken during filming over the three days I was there. You can see a lot more photos of Armor and vehicles on the L-4 face book page here:

I was operating from a 900 ft grass strip near the "Battlefield".

One thing that was very noticeable was the pop, pop of the small arms both rifles and automatic weapons as I flew over the German positions. Even with a headset on and the engine running you could clearly hear the gunfire.

They were having a good time shooting at me and we were ruled as shot down once.

Here is the updated trailer with the Florala footage included, my L-4 appears in the trailer at the 2:24 mark.

I hope they either remove or computer enhance the inaccurate T-6 and T-28 footage. They could slap a computer generated paint job on them which would help but they would still be wrong.
