The Liquidator

(1965, Rod Taylor, Jill St John, Trevor Howard)

Strange Bond-esque comedy thriller which even has a Shirley Bassey theme song. Taylor and St John are seen flying back into London Airport by BEA. As they leave in darkness by car, two BEA RF coaches are seen clearly, and three more in the distance, plus another unknown coach:

Also of interest is the climax of the film aboard a white Vickers Valiant V-bomber. These elegant aircraft were grounded in 1964 after structural problems were found, and the last Valiant squadron disbanded in January 1965. The Victor seen taxiing has no RAF roundels or identifying serial number. The aerial footage may not be of the same aircraft, although this has no markings either:
