If you took Nigel Farage’s advice and went to see Christopher Nolan’s latest epic Dunkirk, you may have left with a few questions. Like, does Farage care about the film’s failure to represent the contribution of the Royal Indian Army and accusations of whitewashing? How big a Harry Styles fan is he truly? Did he stream the star’s debut solo album, or does he just weep when “Sign of The Times” comes on the radio? Or perhaps you’re mulling the question that’s plagued my mind since seeing it – how true to life are those flight scenes?
Nolan films three Spitfires in the air, two of which are Mark 1s, whereas the third one is a Mark 5. While Mark 1s were used at Dunkirk, it would be a few years until the Mark 5s joined the war effort. Debates about historical accuracy aside, this isn’t an oversight worth fighting your friends about.
