That's ignoring the really critical inaccuracies: the Squadron Leader's cottage has a 1960s glass front door and electric bell-push, as well as an up-and-over metal garage door. That lot would have cost about £5 to disguise!
Oh, and when the bombers are heading across the North Sea, the formation leader's callsign is "Tomate Eins" (Tomato One) which comes up on the subtitles as "Tomato Heinz" — perhaps the translator was fond of tinned food?
