	Hamish Mahaddie -DSO DFC AFC
		Hamish Mahaddie first came to the attention of members of the Nanton Lancaster Society as plans were being made to dedicate the museum's aircraft to the memory of Alberta born Lancaster pilot, Ian Bazalgette VC DFC.
		But before visiting a station, Hamish would have already identified crews that he felt were candidates for the PFF by studying aiming point photographs that indicated which crews were dropping their bombs accurately on the targets.
		Mahaddie's final assignment during the war was as Officer Commanding RAF Warboys, the airfield that was the home of the PFF Training Unit.

		Mahaddie, who was a highly decorated bomber pilot from the Second World War, now specialised in buying aircraft for film work.
		Mahaddie scoured the world for all potential Spitfires and those that were capable of looking like operational aircraft were either bought or hired.
		By the end of 1967, Mahaddie had rounded up 27 (about two squadrons-worth) of Spitfires that could be used for active filming, and a number of others that would provide spares for those capable of flying and which could be used for static shots.

	An Interview with Wing Commander Kenneth H Wallis
		The late Group Captain Hamish Mahaddie of RAF Pathfinder Force fame, then aviation consultant for EON Productions, was quickly on the phone asking me to bring an Autogyro down to Pinewood Studios in connection with a James Bond movie.
		It took me a while to work out why she was 'Little Nellie', then I recalled that early in World War Two if your surname was Wallace or Wallis your nickname was Nellie from Nellie Wallace - the famous music hall star of the 20’s and 30’s.
		Group Captain Hamish Mahaddie, who was of that era, had christened her 'Little Nellie'."

		Hamish was among the founding crew members of the RAF's wartime Pathfinder Force (PFF.) He had survived his first tour with Bomber Command and then a second with the 'Pathfinders.' He then was selected as Group Training Officer and responsible for finding and training of all PFF crews.

		They used a number of 'Tear Drop' MKXVI's as set dressings as well as for taxying (Robert Shaw supposedly tipped one on it's nose after braking a bit harshly!) but built up the rear fuselage to 'high back' standard with metal and glass fibre.
		The static machines also had 3 bladed props and other bits to make them look like MKI's and were known as 'MKHaddies', after the late Group Captain Hamish Mahaddie who was responsible for putting together the aircraft for the film.
		Regarding the 'Bubble Canopy', Willy is correct in that it was known as the 'tear drop' hood (look at it from above and you'll see why) and not a bubble canopy.
