  • Notes: Technical: Reel 1 of this film is missing. Full length is 62 minutes. Credits: supplied by Jim Wilde to KGTG on 28/5/1999, with additional comment: "Gamage and Britten photographed from on board HM warships. Fred Gamage has no knowledge of Ray Elton 'at sea' and it is possible that Elton shot the studio sequences. As Elton and Britten were Twickenham Studios cameramen it seems possible that the studio used was Twickenham".
