Very interesting. Wonder what the guy with the screwdriver and hammer was doing. Seized brake maybe?

Winkling out a stowaway, maybe?
There are lots of creeply crawlies in the tropics..

I love seeing things I haven't seen before. I just happened upon this thread and it made my day. This color (or should it be colour) ; ) footage of Brit 47s is gorgeous.

I did a bit of checking. The AW fuselage code is Squadron 42, which was JUST renumbered before receiving their Thunderbolts. Before that, they flew as Squadron 146. The NV code is Squadron 79.

Thanks for posting this.
