Summary: Camera-gun film from Venom FB4s of 8 Squadron attacking Egyptian airfields, dotted with MiG 15s, and other targets during Operation Musketeer.
Description: Slates indicate squadron, pilot, aircraft and date of attacks, but not location of targets. Attacks by pilots (Bramble, Cran [?], Scarlett, Carroll, Black, Cater, Jones, Group Captain Macdonald, Dunn, Rose, Hambly, Hadlow, Munro, Basden) are against airfield buildings including barracks and hangars near water and against MiG 15 fighters of the Egyptian Air Force in black and silver finish which stand openly on the airfields. Smoke issues from several damaged buildings. Accompanying Venoms are visible in several sequences. Attacks are also made against a truck on a road, a port with a mole and a submarine (presumably of Russian origin) on 5th November.
