An Air Ministry film unit arrived at Kemble during June 1946, using Mosquito, Anson, Typhoon and Oxfords to make a short film on flight safety.

Mosquito RK931 5MU
Destroyed during staged accident for training film Kemble 10.7.46


Can anyone help find a copy or the name of the film mentioned above? I saw glimses of it several years ago when a chap called into the then Delta Jets offices and played it on the small video machine we had. I gave him my details and he promised to make a copy and send me one. Alas, this never happened and I have often thought what the title was and where he got it from.

Part of it was filmed behind the trees, it involved someone rolling 40gallon drums across the path of a taxiing mosquito.

Any suggestions of help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried the Imperial War Museum Collection? I managed to get a DVD of 'Target for Tonight' through them, it also included many other Air ministry films of the time. Worth a try.
