Not sure is anyones spotted and posted this link before but it seems to be a bit of a hidden treasure trove of film shot by various USAF personel during WW2. The link is for 29mins worth of life at Honington in 1944, its a aircraft spotters dream with a large number of mainly US types however there is a ‘guest’ appearence by an RAF Typhoon! The scrap yard area is large and there are shots of various aircraft taking off, landing & crash landing. Theres also an intresting bit with what looks like an airbourne assault group flying overhead.

If you check through the libary theres some brilliant colour film shot mainly at Raydon with the P51s and some stuff from 1943 at Hardwick with B24s and P47s.
