I also have this film on Video, I thought about this, but when you see them
explode they just look like wooden mockups, hopefully. One thing they DID
destroy was a WW2 hanger at Duxford Airfield, this was 'blown up' during a
german bombing raid I think(In the film that is).

ps, do you think there is a connection then between classic hardware getting
trashed and Michael Caine, as he's in both films??? :-)
