SNIP lots
[and then some]

I suspect that the RAF brass regarded the Amiens raid as (quite
rightly) a unique effort to date, and worthy of recording. It was of
course the RAF film unit, subject to normal secrecy conditions. And
the cameraman was very likely to return by virtue of the fact he was
in a Mossie (must have been a glazed nose variant - and with no
armament or ordnance, so freaking fast...)

I've had another look at my recording of the Amiens raid. The film
appears to have been taken from the navigator's seat, judging by the
bits of the cockpit frames that appear. There is also a shot of the
starboard wing and engine looking along the top surface. Perhaps the
navigator was given a camera and told to take what he could when he
could.
