Here are the answers (below) to an earlier post called Film quiz - "Match the aircraft to the film it appears in" edition.
Note that some aircraft are ‘acting’ as well (eg in one film a Yakovlev Yak-52TW was modified to resemble a Supermarine Spitfire, but this is listed here as the intended Spitfire) or CGI and other sneakery might be used. Information is correct according to the internet; I welcome arguments :)

Comment policy: I enthusiastically welcome corrections and I entertain polite disagreement ;) Because of the nature of this blog it attracts a LOT - 5 a day at the moment - of spam comments (I write about spam practices,misleading marketing and unevidenced quackery) and so I'm more likely to post a pasted version of your comment, removing any hyperlinks.
Comments written in ALL CAPS LOCK will be deleted and I won't publish any pro-homeopathy comments, that ship has sailed I'm afraid (it's nonsense).
