Tin Hat Productions, which is based in Sleaford, currently have about an hour and 20 minutes of finished film.
This includes sequences shot inside a replica Lancaster bomber that the small production team built for the project. Some of these can now be seen in a new teaser trailer for the film, which was released online last Monday.
The scenes at the Lincolnshire Heritage Aviation Centre will use the centre’s surviving Lancaster Bomber, Just Jane.

“Volunteers also get to spend time at East Kirkby, one of Lincolnshire’s most iconic aviation heritage sites and home of the beautiful Lancaster Bomber ‘Just Jane’.”
The production team are looking for men aged about 18 to 30, preferably with their own period uniform, to play the flight crew extras.
Shooting will take place in the first week in October.
