I just enjoyed this, but no special reason for posting...

To quote the contributor:
"Cine film footage captured by my Grandfather of flights over the west coast of England during World War Two. My Grandfather was an aircraft engineer in the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA). I understand the aircraft in the footage to be: Halifax Bomber, Lancaster Bomber, Dakota and AV120 Anson."

For me the special treason for posting is that it is wonderful footage. And I bet there will be a few eagle-eyed forumites on here who will have indentified each aircraft and the airfields featured. If so I eagerly look forward to reading the posts.
