These films were made by a RAF pilot during their operations in Waziristan to quelch the insurrecting villages. Great flying using Hawker Audax.

Go to the link

and just scroll down a bit It's just after an image add for the "complet handbook for the amateur movie maker"

The pilot himself does the commentary on the films, this was a BBC programme.

Good looking aircraft. It makes me wonder how quickly they'll regress when we pull out.
