Don’t know if this has been posted before, but I haven’t seen it and it’s fascinating.
The guy in the non-standard Mae West. He looks like the CO, does anybody know his name ?

As someone with an enormous soft spot for Hornchurch, I can’t thank Dingleroad enough for posting the link. I think that I have seen some of this footage on Richard Smith’s Hornchurch DVD, but not in it’s entirety. It’s so nice to see Hornchurch as it was, and from so many different vantage points.

Some superb footage, thanks for posting. Spotted Don Kingaby who was a flight commander and was posted to 64 Sqn in April 1942.
