Colour film Hugh Dowding?
I am sure that everybody knows this, but I don't. USNA RG 342 Memphis Belle outtakes (Reel 5). Lengthy sequence of visit by someone who looks amazingly like Hugh Dowding, intimate, chatty. Is this him? Entire reel c 20 mins long so give it a whirl.

Re: Colour film Hugh Dowding?
From his age I would say that it was Hugh Trenchard.
Good piece of colour film, link for others: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzE_8jDjQtQ&t=530s Sean.

Re: Colour film Hugh Dowding?
Here is the scene where Trenchard is talking with the B-24 crew around 8:18 on the youtube video.

Trenchard! Not a doubt. Thanks to the Still Pictures Branch! And thank you both. I am better informed, but as always, no wiser.
