70s movie with RC planes


Ratty McRaticus

Recommended Posts

I have memories of watching a movie when off school sick years ago and wanted to try and find out what it was (or if some weird fever dream lol)

 

I believe it was either 70s or 80s and the basic plot revolved around some kids who stumbled upon a scheme where RC planes were used to smuggle something across the channel, and they used RC planes, spitfires I think, to take them down with darts.

 

Hopefully that makes some sense.

Awesome thanks mate. I'm going to have to search up a copy of that 🤩

I remember the TX the thief had  it was possible to change channels  But i think it was a prop/fake  but would be good to see it again.

He was forced into it, black widow at work at an early age.

She watched the gang the other day but frightened wee jimi66000 had to pay the ultimate price !

 

Just remember kids "Be Suspicious" of grown men  offering to get your ball even though you lost a frisbee.
