Battle of Britain Amateur Colour Footage
Back in 2004 or 2005 some rather remarkable footage came to light which was some amateur colour footage shot by a doctor in his back garden during the summer of 1940 and which showed a dogfight taking place overhead. Towards the end of the footage a Hurricane comes roaring past at low level obviously beating it back to base. The footage was shown on telly and I had a copy of this fantastic film which I had stored on a hard drive. Sadly in all the moving country that I've done in the interim, I've lost the bally hard drive and therefore the footage. I was wondering whether any kind soul here might have the footage and be able to furnish me with a copy to replace my hugely missed copy.
Any help would be enormously appreciated and please PM if you can. Thanks, Tim |

That is indeed about the same footage. Fingers crossed somewhere here also recorded it and can help replace my copy.

Re: Battle of Britain Amateur Colour Footage
It looks like the original film may be held at the University of Brighton but is apparently NOT available on-line for viewing. They do show a few stills from the movie.
http://screenarchive.brighton.ac.uk/detail/5756/ This may be a version of the BBC broadcast, but again not viewable online. http://www.open.ac.uk/library/digita...video:JOUA370N There are three episodes of the BBC "Shooting the War" series on YouTube (re-broadcast in the US by PBS) but I don't think these have the dogfight clip. I did not view each in entirety, but skimmed through them. Maybe someone will find them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljw3EGq0dIg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-pUjhkA3i8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZcrmy3a1fU |

That's the film RSwank. It had Stephen Bungay having a bit of a chinwag before the actual footage. I'm really hoping that somewhere here also made a copy of it, fingers crossed anyway!
