Notes

This would appear to be the missing aerial component of a film started as ABY 30.

Based on ABY 30, the unit seen here is probably RAF 211 Squadron.

Some of the aerial footage suffers from vibration in varying degrees.

Inexplicably, dates on slates give the year as 1947, though this must be a mistake on the part of the cameraman.
