I just picked up a copy, most of you who have any interest in this film have already seen the orignal single disc release so before I check out this Collectors Edtion is there anything some of you would like find out about it? Count yourself fortunate if you don't live in Canada - I don't particularly like the cover art but the bilingual aspect certainly makes it worse. I will definitely check out the now included original William Walton score. Oh, and they were nice enough to include a fold out booklet. The second disc with supplements includes:
Battle For The Battle Of Britain - Documentary
Authenticity In The Air - Featurette
A Film For The Few - Making Of Featurette
Recollections Of An RAF Squadron Leader-Featurette
Images From The Sky - Animated Photo Gallery
I'll update it in mentioning that the first vintage documentary listed runs 52 min. 30 sec. and is hosted and narrated by Michael Caine. The rest are recent featurettes - the " Recollections Of An RAF Squadron Leader " ran 9 min. 30 sec. and I thought it was quite informative. It could have been longer than it was. I noticed it mentions that the film has been " Remastered
In High Definition ". I don't know if this translates into an improved picture over the previous release but will find out soon by doing a comparison. Hopefully the soundtrack will be an improvement with the 5.1 remix.
