As there are no updates today as the Ghosts team are most likely to be taking a day off before filming starts next week. Here are some facts about the story behind the film.
I have been doing some research with my friend Maz, to find out the awesome story of these 3 brave men who survived for 34 days without food water and supplies.
If they had they been at sea for one more day then they would almost certainly perished at sea when a Typhoon hit the area on what would have been day 35. Luck was on their side and they were washed up onto the shores of Cook Island.
It was 16th January 1942 the crew set out in their TBD Devastator Torpedo Bomber on a no radio contact patrol to track Japanese submarines straying out of radio contact with USS Enterprise and fuel supplies running low they have no alternative but to ditch the plane .
No doubt we will see Tom take to the skies again once again like he did in Adrenaline Junkie.
I wonder if he will take a photo with him of his GF tucked up his sleeve ? You big Softy Tom thats why we love you.
The Dinghy that was 3ft wide by 6ft long hardly big enough to support 3 men comfortably can be seen in the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensecola FL USA.

To log their days at sea Harold managed to find a pencil and etched a tally mark on the side of the Dinghy
