There is one, and one only ; 'Night Bombers' which was filmed at RAF Hemswell by the second-in-command there, A/M Cozens. This is a superb film, and is the only colour record of life on a bomber base and also shows actual operational footage.

This was strictly unofficial ; Cozens was an early home-movie buff and hey - he was an Air Marshal, so he could get away with it !

But without his efforts, foresight and private expense, we would today have no colour movie footage of these historic sights.

Incredible.
