The Battle of Britain Film -1968…50 years on and still searching

Some lovely little clips of five frames of original 35mm footage have surfaced in the market place.

These remnants are from film supplied to cinemas and come with scratches, tram-lining, a little fading and the odd smudge of projector lubricant.

None the less they are fascinating and respond to a little PSP/Photoshop.

This frame particularly caught me eye as I hoped it would finally confirm a reported sighting of TB382 coded BO-N at Duxford.

It proved to be one of the replicas with the trademark sagging undercarriage and the spindly tail wheel strut.
