DH 88 Comet F-ANPZ

Thanks for the links TJ, I spent ages yesterday trying to find them on the Pathe site, I guess you need to put in the correct wording to get what you want. I will drop them a line to ask if its possible to get a copy for my own use.

Thanks again the clips are great

The second clip is all too short, but still great.

There are a couple of videos of CSR in the Congo on the mail run, and Campbell-Black in G-ADEF enroute to Cairo at British Pathe. Interesting footage!

Hi,
Do you have a link to these videos, I have copies of the Pathe news which cover the race but never knew the ones you mention existed

Thanks

Not many people know that, well I didn’t. F-ANPZ, c/n 2261 was built for the French government and G-ACSR was also destroyed in the hangar fire. Wonder what it was doing there in 1940?:confused:

G-ACSR became F-ANPY, she was ‘PZ’s stablemate. There was an article about the French Comets in Aeroplane three or four months ago now.
