Lawrence Harvey steals one at the end of the movie. The fuel pump or
switch has a loose connection and the plane crashes into the sea after running

Still haven't figured out the high-wing monoplane with the tadpole
fuselage.
While searching, I came across this spectacular photo of an Avro Vulcan
taking off at the Teesside Airshow in 1963:
