Nugget, SEAC News would have covered all three Services by its very nature, whereas your publication sounds as if it is Air Force only related. That's not to say that it didn't come from the same stable. There seems to have been a lot of "media" happening at the same time, ie broadcasting, publishing, filming, and some merging from one into the other as it were. Here is an example on YouTube:-

As usual, I've spent far too long on YouTube! Following link to link I stumbled on this; RAF in Canada and Burma, and all in colour! I would guess that an RAF (RCAF?) cine enthusiast was using his rare colour stock to capture wartime scenes, a la the Helmswell CO.:-

No Vengeances, Danny, sorry! But an even rarer RAF steed at 19mins in, also an ex-French order bought by the UK Purchasing Commission. Variously ID'd as a Curtiss 75 Mohawk and a P36. Were they one and the same?

Ricardian, thanks for the SEAC News link. Very avant garde! If you'll excuse me I'll just go outside for a moment. I'm feeling just a little bit queasy...
