Klinger Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 A mate of young Painless found the tin of old 16mm? film in his loft. Mick sent it off to a museum, and they kindly sent him a DVD of the footage. The event is Operation Jubilee, the failed raid on Dieppe, 1942. All three Eagle Squadrons (American) were involved, and the vid has some of Don Blakeslee's footage from his Spit Vb. This film is at full speed, so dont blink or you'll miss the action. Pretty amazing to think that no one has seen this (apart from the guy at the museum) since the war! Heres a list of the Pilots featured, and a link to the host; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trout Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Being Canadian I have a vested interest in the Dieppe Raid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensenPark Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Russell is probably Dal Russell http://www.acesofww2.com/Canada/aces/russel.htm Chadburn was a famous Cdn ace as well http://www.chadburn.org/wcchadburn.htm If I recall, he was killed bailing out of his Spit...was impaled on the radio attenna/stem and went down with the plane.

1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted December 28, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted December 28, 2008 ~S~ Chaps, Hey Kling great idea to post the names for further research M8 ! THANKS Guys the quality is not that great and you do need to watch it on "slow" reply but, its an awesome insight into the gunnery solutions they used warts and all ! Each short clip has the pilots own words reported and an evaluation. At least the original film is in the right hands now. ~S~ Painless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadTrooper Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 7 to 8 hours to download for me . Is it possible to put a large file like this one on the Dogz vault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gec Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 yes, good question, why isn't that in the vault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klinger Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 If you go back a few posts you will see that I tried to load it into the Vault and the upload failed after 4 hours. The upload to filedump took over 4 hours. I've spent enough of my life on this for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 LOL, Kling. I guess you have spent enough time on this! Thanks for all the time and effort and thanks for sharing to both of you. If I have time I'll give it a go to the vault, first lets see how the download goes. Edit: oh yeah, this is gonna take a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_O_A_D Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Downloading now, I've found some of this too, a few years back A former supervisor and and freind of mine wife, has severa rolls of color footage taken by her dad in WW2, I've been trying to convince them to get it profesionally looked at, and turned into DVD, Any idea did the museum charge for this? I've recently showed them the stuff MSN hosted up, that was recenlty recovered. She is afraid it will be destroyed, I keep telling them if never recovered it is the same as destroyed.

1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted December 30, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted December 30, 2008 ~S~ TOAD, No charge from the museum M8. I negotiated with the head archivist for them to send me a DVD copy as a condition of the donation....simple LOL ~S~ Painless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't or don't have one that will. you can use VSO player or Media player classic. that is a dvd format file. i have re compress it to divx and now is about 350mb with no loss of quality but am unable to upload it to vault for some reason. i'l try to upload it somewhere else and post the link edit: and here is the link: jubilee movie the link is good for 20 downloads and for 10 days. if it's going to need more i'l do it again.
