Night Bombers Film

Can anyone help me, does anyone have a copy of that ‘Night Bombers’ film on DVD, you know, the original colour film about a Lancaster Squadron at Hemswell?
Well, there are two ‘Stills’ that I would like from that film, if anyone has the technical knowhow, the first is were it shows the Lanc at dispersal, being prepaired for Ops, it talks of the Radar equipment being installed, and shows a box type truck arrive alongside the Lanc, A nice pictute of that truck would be good,
Secondly later in the Film it shows the Ops room, where an Airman is marking up the Ops board, about 4/5 names down is ‘ Flt Lt. Dale’ He was a very good friend of mine until his sad death 2 years ago, again a nice Still of that would be great?

Cheers Chaps!

Thats Great, Thank you efiste2, there is a shot of the Ops board that shows ‘550 Squadron operations’ at the top, dare I ask if that is possible? strange really, as that whole film was shot at Hemswell, however 550 Squadron were based at North Killinghome!

Yes, the RAF truck is a Morris Commercial C4 with a wireless body, Thanks for the help.

these havnt been p/shopped, but theyre pretty good considering the film itself is not the best of quality

Exactly as trumper says. My late uncle is also in NIGHT BOMBERS as he was in one of the crews. If you get the timing of the stills you nedd, I use a program called winDVD that gets great stills , well as good as they can be, so we can try and help you out!!

The easiest way to do it if you can is freeze the frame you want,use print screen and open the image up in a photo application such as Paint Shop.
Can you give us the timings in the DVD where the stills are located to save playing through the whole dvd please,
Ta.:) Not sure how good the quality would be but could be manipulated in a photo application to help.
