Film crews are shooting scenes in Broadstairs today (January 16) for a war movie featuring actor Mel Gibson’s son Milo Gibson.
The film – Hurricane – is based on the Polish 303 RAF Squadron in the Battle of Britain. Gibson takes the role of Lt. Johnny Kent, a Canadian flight lieutenant who led the newly 303 squadron of Hawker Hurricane fighter planes flown by Polish pilots at the height of the Battle of Britain.
