EXT 783 - Graeme.

I spotted this at the start of a British film starring Rod Taylor. That's what self-isolation does.

I'm pretty sure of what it is - see what you think...

Oh dear!  I had a quick look and he's been in around 80 feature films, to narrow it down. I'm guessing it's a war film?  Is it on IMDB?

My first reaction is that they look like Breguet 270 series operated by France, China, Brazil, and Venezuela. However, I think the impression of a sesquiplane might be caused by the tailplane, so maybe it isn't!!

Mine too! :-)

It's seen at the very start of The Liquidator - with wartime footage of the liberation of Paris.

But the best part of the film is the appearance of the Valiant at the end.

Maybe the best part, but it shows a typical lack of "continuity" in that the Valiant on the ground isn't the same aircraft as that shown taking off, you'd think that they would choose clips with the same paint job on the nose and both fitted with probes!! 🤓 

Good challenge though!
