Great Clip, I reckon the some of the clip starting at 3:45 shows RNZAF No2 Servicing Unit working on 18 Squadron P40's because the Pilot at 4:19 is probably P/O Ron Bremner. It certainly looks like him and his personal diary along with the ORB state the NZ Film unit took some footage & he was picked for the job (starting up a P40) by drawing cards. P40 No51 (NZ 3157) & 52 where both used by 18 Squadron during November 1943 when the clip was taken (Ondonga Nov 18 1943) I wonder if anyone can I.D. some of the servicing unit personnel. BTW Ron Bremner went MIA on Feb 5 1944 along with his No 2 Sgt B Nicholson. It would be great to source a non Ytube copy. Cheers Rob

That's some mighty low flying in the first clip of the Tomahawk.

The flying apparently by Bluey Truscott etc is rather low too. Most impressive. The bit of the chap in the desert being revived by an injection was odd but funny.
Great clip.
