Guys,

Here’s a link to another longer and original version without any sound or the widescreen – also contains some fascinating footage of war torn London.

B17G-40-VE 297976 (447th BG, “A Bit of Lace”) returned to US Jul 5, 1945, to Kingman AAF Nov 9, 1945, sold for salvage Jul 1, 1946

B17G-40-VE 297936 – fate ?

North American P-51C-1-NT Mustang 2103301 condemned salvage no battle damage Nov 15, 1944

Republic P-47D-6-RE Thunderbolt 274680 – fate ?

Be also interesting to know the fate of the 100 Sqn Lancaster HW-V, could make out 72 of the serial number.

Thanks for posting. That is truly amazing. Pity though that it has been ‘stretched’ to wide screen. The Tchaikovsky’s a bit ‘busy’, some Gorecki might have been better. Minor complaints aside, it’s still brilliant!

😀 Thanks for posting that ,i found it fascinating.Any ideas on who and how it was taken,i guess it slipped through the censors.
It is the little things that bring in the human factor,the dog,people putting on their kit or larking around [with firearms :eek:],walking around in mud.
Thanks again.:)
