The film was poorly received by the public and was pulled by some cinemas in England three days after opening. It only recovered the production cost after sales to television companies and international releases. It was the worst performing "Carry On" movie at the box office since Carry on at Your Convenience (1971).
"Carry On" series regular star Sidney James died on 26 April 1976 just about a week before filming on this movie started on 3rd May that year. James had appeared in nineteen movies in the series. The pre-production meeting for the film was actually held at 11am at Pinewood Studios on the morning of the same day that James died in the evening.
Tricia Newby replaced Carol Hawkins in the role of Bombardier Murray. Hawkins refused to appear in the film due to the excessive nudity.
The main cut of this film was Reel 6: Joke about Heinkels and Bristols replaced with cover material which omits the utterance of "Fokker". Shots of bare-breasted women replaced by flash shots of bare breast to establish only.
The second "Carry On" movie where series regular Kenneth Connor was first-billed in the cast list. The first was 18 years earlier in Carry on Nurse.
"[scene that was censored by British Board of Film Classification for the use of the word Focke] Sgt. Maj. Tiger Bloomer: Aircraft recognition. These is your new pin-ups. I bet none of you can tell the difference between a couple of Heinkels and a pair of Bristols. Sgt. Len Able: No, but I can recognise a Focke when I see one."
"[Melly has just swallowed a button from Pvt. Easy's jacket] Pvt. Easy: Oh, I do hope you're regular, Sir! Capt. S. Melly: Regular? I've been regular for 18 years! Pvt. Easy: Oh, good. That means I can have it back tomorrow, then. Capt. S. Melly: You'll have it back when I'm good and ready. Pvt. Easy: That's all right, Sir. No need to strain yourself!"
