Scampton 1942

Forgive me if this footage is old hat to some here, but the BFI website has a 50-minute sequence of 83 Sqn at Scampton in 1942, featuring both Manchesters and Lancasters.
Some of it looks familiar, and the pre-raid activity is reminiscent of the 'Dam Busters' film, including the "Bang on" comment to one of the skippers.
The same website also features some splendid footage of Hornchurch.
