Video showing CS-01 a clip from Chris Stone's film taken during a 93 Sqn detachment to Sylt for APC Gunnery Camp - Apr/May59. It starts with a shot of a Meteor dropping a target flag over the airfield filmed above a line-up of the Hunter F.6s at Sylt and Chris Stone arrives in XJ645 E and unstraps. The groundcrew are then seen to change over the ADEN gun packs. There are no blast deflectors fitted on the four ADENs and the gun muzzles are surrounded by soot from the cartridges. In the background a Meteor is seen dropping a flag on the airfield so that the bullet holes can be counted and the pilot given his score. The clip finishes with an armed gun pack being winched into position. Note the word "green" written on the fuselage by the Hunter intake. I suspect this is to indicate the colour of the paint on the bullet tips for this aircraft. As the bullets passed through the flag they leave a smudge of coloured paint on the flag so that the score can be contributed to the correct aircraft and pilot.
There is no sound with this clip. This clip runs for 2 mins.
