View Full Version : A wee Coastal Command film from 1942, (you might like this Jim)
Just started watching, and thought Id share as it looks good (despite the ridiculously upper class accents), it seems like some sort of reconstruction/documentry/propaganda mashup from 1942- looks like it might have some decent sunderland and catalina action....
Figured Jim would appreciate it at least... enjoy:salute:

Yes it has the makings of an interesting viewing....the film footage at least :)
Yeah the acting is awful and dialouge is obviously dumbed down for the masses, but some of the footage is great and very rare.

Made for the Ministry of Information. Ah.
Ok i love the planes, but ... :03:
'The planes' is why i watched it, not much footage of those aircraft types knocking about. :)
Some of the old docudramas were awful from an acting and script perspective. The aircraft footage is the gem here though.
