Whilst searching the internet I came across this interesting Czech TV Documentary called ‘Hledání ztraceného času – V Británii za vlast’ (The Search for Lost Time – In Britain for the Fatherland), which features colour footage of 310 (Czech) Squadron, aircraft, pilots and ground crews etc, on and off duty during 1942. The historic footage starts at 1’39”. Although the background narration is in Czech’ it’s well worth watching – this is part 1 of 3. I’ll post links to the others later! https://youtu.be/P2aVG7jL46w
