Summary: Lancasters.
Description: This reel commences with more scenes of Lancasters of 463 and 467 Squadrons taking off to and away from the camera. The scene then switches to Beaufighters of the Banff Wing in Scotland. Torbeaus of 455 Squadron are seen flying low in a good air to air shots and then at dispersal. Some are rocket armed whilst others sport torpedoes. Beaufighters of 404 Squadron are lined up on the tarmac. A Mosquito is wheeled out of a hangar and the pilot and navigator climb aboard. Escorting Mustang Mk IIIs are seen in good, low level shots skimming across the sea. Similar shots are taken of Mosquitos of 235 Squadron and, in a good close up, WR*l of 248.
