does anyone know if there exists any film footage of either 611 squadron, 1942/43 Biggin Hill period or 453 RAAF squadron 1944 period ?
for inclusion in a private documentry for family archives.
also, please remind me of the documentry title that our own Tangmere1940 was involved in regarding the recovery of the RAAF Sgt Pilot that crashed in France, is it available on youtube ?
thanks
Jules

hello Jules
This has 350 (Belgian) Squadron and 453 Squadron on it, as well as numerous others – but they were my interest – and it is well worth a watch, the interviews are gold dust, and the films are the icing on the cake – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tegfJDvwH3w – 453 Squadron at B.11 Longues-sur-Mer comes in about 52 minutes – they are scrambling through the corn dust, and you have to be quick – for some reason they have been put in to a piece about shooting down the V1, but this is definitely B.11 as far as I am concerned, or failing that B.19 Lingevres!!
cheers
Allan
