No sound, but absolutely delightful.
Is that Paddy Bandon at the start?

I don't think RAF Laarbruch was two years on from building completion in 1956. But an excellent gem, another snapshot of they way things were and much can be derived of the mood and character of the people. One tends to look at the dim and distant past through rose tinted specs, but footage like this acts as a counter to the counter-argument that life was really terrible and primitive.
