I heard of the existence of this film years ago but hadn’t seen it until now. If anyone knows the exact DVD it’s on please do let me know as I’d love a copy.

I grew up around Cirencester/Cheltenham so was pretty taken by part 2 on YouTube and recognised a lot of Cirencester.

At 4:42 he passes to the SW of the old Roman Amphitheatre before crossing the old Tetbury road. 5:14 he’s just SW of Colesbourne and 5:24 he crosses the escarpment just south of the western end of the Dowdswell Resovoir.

I haven’t worked out where he’s flying over Cheltenham but I have a hunch its around the hill at Battledown.

I’ll give you the Lat/Lons if anyone wants to plot the course on Google Earth. 😉

Interesting though – the film says 1943 but the map used in the illustrations must be an old one as there are a few airfields missing from it. 😀
