Yes it's excellent news. I hope it comes to Rialto in Hamilton.

Well done Rosie !!!!!!!!!

[ngirl5]

Is this the first time a Spitfire film has been on the big screen?? Or is it even the first time a classic aviation film has?
I've never seen aviation films so I'm not very up with them but would love to know

[Dave Homewood]

Nope. Check out these films, all cinematic releases:
"First Of The Few"
"Reach For The Sky"
"Battle of Britain"
"Dark Blue World"
And I hesitate to add "Pearl Harbor"

[Mustang51]

Please.....please hesitate to mention "Pearl Harbour"

[Mustang51]

OMG.....just seen that I have made 1,000 posts.... what could I possibly have to add 1,000 times that adds to the collective pool of knowledge...........

[Dave Homewood]

Well done Ando, It's always excellent to see your contributions here.

[ngirl5]

Ooo thanks Dave, awesome

Bring on the next 1000 Ando \m/

This is showing now at Rialto and some other arty places (but not in the Waikato Dave - yet?)

eg Fri - Sat - Sun Rialto Newmarket. Anyone fancy meeting up for 8.30pm Saturday?

[Dave Homewood]

Already playing? it's meant to premiere at Rialto cinemas on the 6th of Sept,and for one night only. This is interesting, they seem to be expanding the original deal?

It opens on Aug 30th at the Lido in Hamilton, but they still don't have times on their site.

It looks like it's going to be at the Bridgeway Northcote on the 30 Aug

FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY Father’s Day - Sunday 02 September - SPITFIRE the Movie will be at NZ WARBIRDS at Ardmore inside our Hangar on a big LED screen.

The SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE will be right there beside you and your seat - as you are mesmerised by Spitfire the movie;

Come along and get up close and personal with this beautiful icon of the skies – the iconic “Spitfire”!
Take selfies with her.

Meet the owner/pilot Doug and our own incredible Spitfire pilots; Gavin, Frank and Liz – one of the very few woman Spitfire pilots in the world.

Buy a copy of the very limited availability new Spitfire movie book, (we have bought copies out from England especially for this event, there is only 60 copies in NZ and we have them all here at Ardmore. A real collectible, you MUST have purchased a movie ticket to buy one of these special books.
Have your new Spitfire book signed by our Spitfire pilots.
Buy yourself or those lucky kids a cool Spitfire t-shirt.
Witness the roar and flames of radial engines outside.

You might even be able to view the next Spitfire fuselage and a Merlin engine to be restored here at Ardmore.

If the weather lets us, you'll see a fast and noisy WW2 P40 Kittyhawk fighter flypast before the movie starts, just to get you in the mood.


Food, Wine & Beer, Soft drinks, Tea & Coffee will be available to buy, so have your evening Father’s Day supper with us, including that must have POPCORN, while watching this 90 minute commemoration.

WHAT A SPECIAL and ICONIC FUNDRAISING EVENING for MEMBERS!

Hangar doors open at 5.00pm for the next best experience of a lifetime; to give you time to look around the Spitfire, speak to the pilots and have some supper.

The movie starts at approximately 6.30pm inside the hangar – rain or shine.

A huge thanks to the British Film Company, Rialto Distribution and The Big Screen Company for supporting the NZ Warbirds Association Inc.

Looks like 11:15am session times only, so it's a weekend event. Saturday would be best for Baz and me as we have a prior commitment for Father's day on Sunday.
