Other mistake: A lot of the aircrew are wearing a 1939-45 Star medal ribbon. This medal was obviously issued after the war's end.
Other mistake: During the practice bombing runs the bombers have to bank hard to the right. The back projection shows the planes banking to the left.
Plot hole: The factory in Norway has to be destroyed - at huge cost - as it is producing fuel for the V2 rocket. That fuel was ethanol - ordinary industrial alcohol. There is no reason at all to have a specialised factory hundreds of kilometers away producing such a simple chemical. The Germans could have manufactured it in virtually unlimited quantity in an ordinary brewery - and there were plenty of those in Germany.
Trivia: All of the members of the Norwegian resistance movement (the Ling) are ambushed and wiped out by the Germans on their way to attack the defences. This would suggest that Erik Bergman must have broken under torture and given the information about the upcoming attacks to the Germans - allowing them to know where and when to ambush the resistance men. So the Wing Commander's murder mission was a waste of effort (or at least too late).
