Lanchester Carbine
The sub-machine guns used by Biggles and companions in the First World War scenes is the (anachronistic) Lanchester Machine Carbine. This weapon, a copy of the Bergmann MP-18/MP-28, was produced in small numbers during the early part of World War II in Britain but was rapidly replaced by the far cheaper STEN gun. The few thousand that were manufactured went to the Royal Navy and were still in service well into the 1960s.
In reality the only sub-machine gun used during the First World War was the Bergmann MP-18, with the odd "snail drum" magazine projecting from the left side; the Italian FIAT-Villar Perosa Mod 15 was used as a light machine gun, despite firing a pistol round.
105mm Howitzer
During the weapons testing ground, various objects are around such as dummy soldiers and anachronistically WW2 German 105mm Howitzer alongside another artillery gun of unknown model. Shortly after the secret weapon is used, the objects crumble up.
Unknown Artillery Gun
Alongside the 105mm Howitzer, another artillery gun is seen in the weapons testing ground.
