Hope this is the right place to post this.   Obviously some of the ground shots were filmed at White Waltham; note the use of sound locators to hide the fact that radar was in use!

Sorry it won't post.  I'm not 'computer literate' so I've got no idea what to do.

It's dated about 1941, part filmed at White Waltham.  If you can find it it was posted on YouTube.

I found it on YouTube easily and watched it. Rather laborious scenes of interiors with lots of discussion which, although informative, is boring.
I chose to skip forward in stages and watch the landing grounds and flying scenes.

Ah but don't forget it would have been filmed in the full knowledge that enemy spies would be avidly watching it.  I wonder if they noticed that none of the ATA pilots were wearing headphones as they didn't noramlly carry radios.  I wonder what the spies thought of when they saw the sound locators; would they have known what they did?   They might have even thought they were radar.
