In one scene in "Air Outpost", in which the inbound passengers disembark from Hanno after its late afternoon landing, one passenger is heard to exclaim, "the Coronation was marvellous", an unusual feat for a person filmed in 1936, as the Coronation of George VI did not take place until 12 May 1937, six months after filming had finished in Sharjah. This is taken by academics as confirmation the script itself was not finalised until long after shooting had taken place.
