Danny, as I understand it this was very much a fly on the wall documentary made by the Base Commander (a cine enthusiast) in order to show new joiners how their job (cook, armourer, ground/air crew, etc) fitted into the business of launching, carrying out, and recovering a raid.
Whether it existed as the complete production, complete with (excellent) commentary, that we see here, I very much doubt. More likely someone (himself?) would have been commenting live to the silent movie scenes.
Whatever the facts, this is surely unique for British Wartime Operational Colour video (where the heck did he get all that film stock for a start?). Both German and US colour wartime video is plentiful, but not so British. Makes one wonder how he managed his day job as well as producing this!
