@spawnofwheezedog Yeah xD Apparently when he got there his American accent was so good that some of the cast wouldn't believe he was British! :L He's called Damian Lewis.
Hatfield, where this was primarily filmed, was the aerodrome of the De Havilland aircraft company as well as the London Flying Club and DH Flying School. The company was founded by Geoffery De Havilland, cousin of Olivia De Havilland, both from a very wealthy family of landed gentry. From all his DH aircraft of WW1, through the interwar Moths, Dragons & Comet racer, the WW2 Mosquito & Hornet, the world's first production jet airliner, the Comet, to the Vampire, Venom & Sea Vixen, many piston & jet engines, missiles such as Fire Streak and Blue Streak (intended to also launch satellites), the DH125 (later BAe125) exec jet and the Trident, all manufactured at Hatfield. Then, after joining into British Aerospace, the 146 and eventually work that culminated in the Airbus 300.
Sadly it is now slowly becoming a housing estate, although many historic buildings do remain.
