A season of films from a decade of movie-making
Starring John Gregson, Muriel Pavlow, Kieron Moore, Niall MacGinnis

When the R.A.F. plan to use a remote Norfolk bird sanctuary as a target range, the local villagers resort to every means at their disposal to prevent it.
Produced by Group 3, the Government financed film unit intended to act as a 'third force' between Rank and ABC, Conflict of Wings follows the Ealing tradition. But it is cast in a more serious vein as it poses a very real question: which things are more important to us - wildlife or aeroplanes? In the end the film is inconclusive in resolving the problem, but it embodies nevertheless an element of interesting topicality in view of the prevailing controversy over the sighting of London's third airport, in which similar problems of reconciling social necessity with rural amenity are involved.
