1943 Colonel Blimp Film - Formation Sign
I hope I have posted this in the correct section. If not, please feel free to move it.
This is a screenshot that I have taken from the 1943 Colonel Blimp film. I am posting it here in case anybody has the flash being worn here in their "unknown" box. I am assuming that the sign was made up just for this film?

Yes, it's fictional. AOS strip in wrong place, too.

Clasic film - along with A Matter of Life and Death- also a Powell and Pressburger film. Regards, Paul.

I am now re-watching the films I saw when I was young. Also, catching up on what I had missed before. Here for example, the Arnhem film from before "A Bridge too Far". This one used the veterans as extras, and was filmed just after the war in the still ruined Arnhem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiFeYxlPYy4

One of the officers in that film, Major Gough, later became my MP. However, he had left politics before I was old enough to realise who he was.
He died in 1977 but didn't think too much of "A Bridge Too Far", which he he thought played: "ducks and drakes with historical facts in order to dish up an extravaganza fit for the American massed cinema market".
