Summary: Unedited shots of a firefighting crew attempting to extinguish a blazing aircraft.
Description: Rescue vehicles arrive at the wreck of a Fairey Firefly, which is blazing in the middle of a field. The crew cover the aircraft in foam, and attempt to reach the pilot. The hose refuses to function. The fire becomes violent. On another take, with a different aeroplane, the navigator clearly runs away as the crew arrive. They free the pilot and swiftly put out the fire, then cover the plane in foam. Sentries are put in position as the firemen drive away.
