George Beurling was the most successful Canadian fighter pilot and was recognised as "The Falcon of Malta" and the "Knight of Malta", having been credited with shooting down 27 Axis aircraft in just 14 days over Malta.
In this scene the water surface is 3D too and actually my first 3D water which I animated to get the motion blur. The model was quite a low poly model from turbosquid, modified and textured by me. The pilot is by Gareth Hector. Hope you like it!
