AVRO ANSON OPERATING IN INDIA (1944 (?))

This film is held by the Imperial War Museum (ID: JFU 163).

Synopsis

Very short film showing an Avro Anson transport aircraft starting up, taxiing, and in flight, somewhere in India.

A ground crewman hand cranks an Avro Anson's port engine. The aircraft taxis. The aircraft overhead. The aircraft on the runway, probably having just landed.

Notes

No dopesheet for this film so details as to location, date, unit, etc are unclear. The runway's width, paving and markings suggest a permanent and well-established airfield or airport. This film appears in JFU 164 'Frontline Newspaper' in which it is suggested the aircraft is delivering copies of 'SEAC', the newspaper of South East Asia Command.
