Footage found of operation Manna food droppings

http://nos.nl/video/236378-nieuwe-filmbeelden-voedseldroppings-woii.html

A short 8mm film was released covering the food droppings over the Netherlands. The film was shot by a civilian, and all this time kept by his children as a sort of “family treasure”. It has been donated to the Rotterdam city archives, and they restored the footage. No audio is available.

The film was made in Rotterdam. Several landmarks can be recognised including Rotte, Terbregge and the Kings-church.

What a great find, good to see it has been handed in. Extremely interesting regarding the drop height of the cargo, some seem to be at a low height others not quite so.
Thanks for sharing this.
