You can find it here as part of the Rattigan Collection we were both snagging from before.
Right! I actually saw that and recognized nearly no one in it. I'm glad it was good, regardless of sound quality.
Looking at the plot for the film, that does sound very much reworked, indeed, it's only just recognisable as being related to what I listened to the other week.
I believe the majority of the likeness is "fictional RAF station written by Terence Rattigan." It is full of aircraft and actors with good faces, though, and its retrospective frame is one of those neat little shifts of reality because to a post-war audience it looks completely normal to open on a derelict airfield before rolling back to fill in its wartime past, but the film itself was released between V-E Day and V-J Day; it was projecting the war-won future that hadn't quite happened yet.
