Luftwaffe Lysander and Blenheims in film

Hello,
Had not seen it before and have never seen it refered too either.
A film yesterday showed both a Lysander and a Blenheim (perhaps two), in Luftwaffe markings.
These were not captured aircraft but I think filmed in Canada.
Does anyone know their true identities ?
Film's title was " The Commandoes Strike at Dawn " (Black & White, filmed 1942).
"A Norwegian fisherman is appalled by the atrocities of the Nazi occupation and forms a resistance force. When he learns the location of a secret German airbase, he decides to escape the country for Britain to pass on what he has learned and return with Allied soldiers to drive out the invaders. Second World War drama, starring Paul Muni, Anna Lee and Lillian Gish. Includes Flight Bites".
Next on I think "Movies for Men" 8th May.
Alex
