nisi dominus says
I am trying to establish the identity of the winch operator in this film. My father was the Flight Egineer winch operator when this was demonstrated at Farnborough Air Show and was based at Brize Norton in 1949. If you could advise of the date at which this was filmed it will allow me to check against his flight log.
