Summary: Mosquitos are prepared for a daylight raid.
Description: Although initially out of focus, the reel commences with good views of Mosquito GB*N flying very low over water. After a scene of a Flight Sergeant chatting to and inspecting engine fitters' work, the air to air scenes continue. The aircraft approach a coast and commence their run over the countryside. Aircraft seen is XD*M of 139 Squadron. The reel concludes with various scenes of the interior of the cockpit (with close ups of the pilot's hands operating the throttles), the propeller of the starboard engine stopping in flight and head-on close ups of the crew.
