Other titles:COLLECTION OF FILMS FROM DERA ABERPORTH [Allocated Title]
Summary: Trials of the Australian Malkara anti-tank missile in the Libyan desert. Three firings are covered, with captions: two boresight camera films for each one (one of 6-inch lens and the other 36-inch lens). Film is of varying quality ranging from very poor (missile lost in cloud of smoke and dust) to good. (Viewers must appreciate, however, that "good" in a boresight camera sense is a relative term; the missile is very large, out of focus even, at the start, but very quickly disappears to nothing. The target can be seen in the distance but not very clearly.)
