Then you simply do not understand that Mosquito Squadron, which was premiered before the Battle of Britain, contained not one single frame, let alone aerial footage of BofB film and little of 633 Squadron. The Battle of Britain was a major movie of its time, Mosquito Squadron was a cheap Mirisch Pictures output that cost very little, the Battle of Britain film cost many, many millions.
The BofB Aerial Footage Cameraman was Skeets Kelly and I know he would be turning in his grave [while smiling his wry smile] if his and Johnny Jordan's efforts in capturing the magnificent aerial sequences had been screened in Mosquito Squadron prior to the premiere the BofB. Obviously the Mosquito Squadron bombing footage was model photography.
