Trivia
At the time that this movie was being made, the airfield was still under Air Ministry control, but it was due to be given back to its owners, Luton Borough Council the following year. This may partly explain the eclectic mix of aircraft on the ground, including Royal Air Force jet fighters and radio trainers, Royal Navy target tugs, commercial transports, and small private aircraft.
Goofs
While testing a plane Denning (John Mills) clips a pylon with a wing tip and crashes but the shot of the crashed plane as it bursts into flames shows no damage to the wing.
Crazy Credits
The opening credits are spoken, with no captions, giving just the film's title, the two main stars and brief supporting cast. The full credits are shown at the end.

Played on a record player by the mortuary attendant and heard as a theme over the end credits
