Actually I may be mistaken. It could be an amalgamation of two films - both taken from different times - of No.8 Squadron.
Here is the first description
VULTEE VENGEANCE DIVEBOMBERS OPERATED INDIAN AIR FORCE 8 SQUADRON Allocated Title (ABY 3)
Object description
Indian Air Force Vultee Vengeance divebombers being serviced before taking off for operations in dusty conditions at Joari and Mamur (Mamura) airfields, India.
Full description
Crew of aircraft EZ977 boarding and the rear gunner demonstrates the flexible mounting of his twin machine guns. Other aircrew are amused by the antics of a pet monkey. During air-to-air footage one aircraft makes a (possibly mock) divebombing attack.
EZ977 was the identifiable aircraft in the video - though there was no shot of a pet monkey . This clip was from March 44 and I incorrectly thought it mentioned Mambur.. Mamura seems to be the correct location
The second clip details are here
INDIAN AIR FORCE VULTEE VENGEANCE DIVEBOMBERS ACTION Allocated Title (ABY 48)
Object description
Scenes Vengeance divebombers of 8 Squadron Indian Air Force in action.
Full description
Exterior shot of a building, presumably the briefing room, with pilots leaving. Crew boarding a Vengeance. Pilot hands his parachute to a member of his ground crew before climbing aboard. Camera on wing of aircraft showing four Vengeances in line. Upward shot looking to pilot. Propellors spinning, ground crew pulls chocks away. Return to previous shot, aircraft rolls forward with starboard wing passing over camera. Aircraft taxis towards camera. Vengeances on runway. Aircraft take off. Various air-to-air shots of formations of aircraft up to six strong. Aircraft making divebombing attack with dive brakes open. A cloud of smoke with impacts. Vengeances overhead and passing over camera. More air-to-air and ground-to-air footage. Twelve Vengeances perform formation flyby before receding into the distance.
This one is from December 1944, and by which time the Squadron was withdrawn from frontline and even requipping with the Spitfire.. so most of the grizzled veterans from the war time may have left the unit by this point.
