  • Notes: Note: AYY 407 was included in a short reel marked on the leader as NEWS VALUES - GOOD AND BAD COVERAGE, presumed to have been compiled for instructional purposes for the training of British Army Film Unit combat cameramen at the Army Film and Photographic Centre, based at Pinewood Studios 1943-1945. As the single short nitrate print (MGH 105) duplicated material already preserved, and had no explanatory intertitles, it was selected for disposal in 2012 as part of the IWM Nitrate Review.
