Texan Connie Edwards flew a lot for the film and at the end was given several Buchons and a Spit Mk 9 as payment. His collection famously sat until recent years when each was sold. Some of us will have seen the Buchons displayed at Duxford for eg.
I saw this collection of his own footage shot during filming in 1968 a couple years ago and yesterday was shocked to see it'd only had 1700+ views. Surely there's plenty of enthusiasts here that would relish seeing it. So I'm posting it. About 39 minutes edited together, with some commentary from Connie and obvious added sound effects. Not all great quality film sadly, but some unique perspectives and certainly a terrific subject matter for those of us who love these period aircraft and the film.
Put the kettle on and enjoy
