Film about Sir Keith Park

[battleofbritain]

I wanted to let the board know about a new short film about Sir Keith Park:
www.battleofbritain.tv/Heroes.html

I am travelling to New Zealand soon to try to gather more information for a longer film, and interview pilots and families of pilots who flew with him. It would be great to receive advice on good people to approach.

Thanks in advance if anyone can offer any pointers!

Welcome to the forum battleofbritain. For a very long time I have considered that Sir Keith's life should be made into a film. Not just his efforts in WWII where his tactics saved both Britain and malta, but also his early career aboard ship, and in the cavalry in WWI and then the RFC where he becam an ace, etc. Is your film purely a documentary? Or is it to be a dramatic portrayal?

Hi Dave,

Great to hear from you. Mine will be a documentary but will hopefully be inspiration for a future feature film for this still unsung hero.

Best regards,

Nick

Nick,

Have been posting Heather McGregor's column here from the getgo. Maybe some of the comments and info by others will be of use to you.

There's at least one other thread (maybe two) ostensibly on the same subject, but using the forum search facility has been of no help to me.

Sorry, Nick, but if you want to read them you'll have to put in some hard, hard yards....!
