Description
Flying Officer (FO) Jake Newham of Cowra, NSW, is filmed by a local television cameraman as he enters his Vampire aircraft. FO Newham was a member of 78 Fighter Wing RAAF, stationed in Malta for garrison duty. The film company was possibly filming (on behalf of the BBC) the takeoff of a full dress rehearsal for a fly past that would take place in honour of the newly crowned Queen's visit in May.
