Interesting facts
Lancaster Skies is a 2019 British war film focusing on the British bomber campaign in World War II. It is a homage to the British war films of the 1940s and 1950s.
Production
With a total budget of £80,000, the visual elements proved very challenging. The original title of the film was ‘Our Shining Sword’, with the movie poster featuring Lancasters flying over Lincoln Cathedral.
In keeping with the retro style of the film, scale models were used for most visual effects. Digital effects were kept to a minimum.
Filming also took place at the former RAF East Kirkby in Lincolnshire.
