A goof.

Our young hero ignores warnings from the control tower to not take off due to bad weather approaching.

We see #58 take off.
Then it is #27 in flight.
Finally #3 lands.

The numbers that were painted on the side of the aircraft must have been four feet tall. How could the filmmakers not notice such a bad gaffe?

They also manage to fly from over Lincoln cathedral to the Blackpool tower in minutes. It'd take them hours. The guy also thinks they are near the Irish sea. Near Lincoln?
It's on the other side of the country!
