problem
Hi all,
Yep thats my problem,
I found the reference to the whirlwinds in the accompanying text review of the film but I can’t see them…
I am wondering if the film I am viewing it is a shortened verion of the real footage, and the whirlwinds are on a longer version……
These are the two films that mention them..

Hi Jerry
Is the Whirlwind footage the same as the Pathe film taken at Warmwell in 1942 ?
