It's a lovely piece of engineering.
From what I've been told , this scene was shot on location and also in the studio for later compositing, but I'm told the footage has been destryed - a terrible shame, but I'm not giving up hope!

The film isn't dead. Not yet. The only footage George would destroy is his own negatives for the SE's. Lost the footage? Maybe. Destroyed it. No way.
Recreating this footage would be awesome.
