Film Of Dunsfold WW2 Bomber Activity Discovered

A film has recently surfaced from English archives showing activities of B25 Medium Bombers at Dunsfold Airfield towards the end of WW2.

Dunsfold was home to 180 Squadron, an RAAF squadron of a number of Odd Bods including founder and long time Secretary, George Smith. The Uncle of our current President, Bruce Waxman, was a pilot on 98 Squadron at Dunsfold and subsequently KIA in 1944 over Arnhem. 

The film depicts airfield activities including bomb loading, aircraft take-off and landing, aircraft servicing, and shows a number of Australian and NZ aviators. 

If you recognise anybody in the film we would love to hear from you.
