Biggles (film)
Peter James bought the rights to the Biggles stories in 1976. The film was produced by Yellowbill Films, a company set up in 1979 by British producer Kent Walwin, and one of its first acquisitions was the rights to the Biggles character. Additional financing came from a subsidiary of Hammer Films, Tambarle Ab Ltd, and Heath Financial Services, a group of insurance brokers, which the film is copyrighted by. This made "Biggles" an entirely British funded project. The Eady Levy was about to expire in early 1985, so to take advantage of additional funding, the film was rushed into production. In 1988, Compact Yellowbill Ltd was set up, a company 50/50 owned by Kent Walwin and the other producer, Pom Oliver, and the film's production credit was changed to that. Walwin had the idea of creating a series of Biggles films in the same format as the James Bond series which the option on all of the books could have opened the door to.
