I have 2 short pieces of video film that show canberra and tornado in group formation for RAF Marham (I guess) one from 2003 and the other the possibly last flight prior to retirement of the plane and pilot in 2006. These are over my garden views in a village about 10 miles from Marham.
I also have ancient cine film of catalina landing in Port Moresby Bay, take off
of Quantas seaplane on rivers “upcountry”
My dad lighting up in the blister of a catalina may be worth a view.
1958 everyone looked like a filmstar
Should I work out how to do the downlowd to UTUBE|?

Dad filmed this on a trip into the Jungle, He worked at Port Moresby for BP looking for oil, (and they found gas).He had to take a Catalina , then a riverplane then a helicopter.
This is the helicopter bit.

As you might imagine these just appeared over the trees with only a short rumble to say they were coming. They went over about six times.
