RE: Typhoon Footage
Snapper…I’d love to…I’m rather fond of the lovely Typhoon myself…
Andy…the photo on pg30 you speak of is from a film I believe we still have here at the IWM…the details sound familiar to me from when I did a search for Snapper (still no luck on that one Snapper, sorry :() Please contact me if you would like further details Andy 🙂
Ashley, Film and Video Archive Assistant who likes polishing Spitfires best 😉

RE: Typhoon Footage
IWM stands for Imperial War Museum. As Ashley will tell you when she gets back to work (or takes a break from polishing) they have loads of film in their archives. There is a page on the IWM website about it too.

RE: Typhoon Footage
Just looked through “The Typhoon & Tempest Story” by Chris homas/Christopher Shores,P62 has a photo from a film of a 174 Sqn Tiffie returning from the raid on Amiens prison,P30 has a still from film taken in June 1942 showing R7694 of 56 Sqn.Both photos are marked IWM, where is the film now? Any ideas?

Hi Andy,
Have a look at this site:

There’s several clips of Tempests, although nothing on the Tiffie.
Cheers,
Neil

RE: Typhoon Footage
If only……IF ONLY!
A friend had 5 seconds on a general video, I had another 5 on another, plus a little bit of Tempest stuff off ‘Doodlebug Summer’ out this year on LWT and Meridian. I have yet to find any decent amount of footage in one program. However, www.britishpathe.com has a few bits, and there are some tempest mpegs online somewhere (I found them through google when looking for wav files I think).
The third most prolific British singled engined fighter, and the V1’s arch-enemy, and the film makers couldn’t give a toss. How about it Ashley – you reckon you could persuade your bosses to come up with a commercial release of a Typhoon video from archive footage, and a SEPERATE (diifferent planes, different roles) one of Tempests? Make both of us happy!
