Camera Operator
A light hearted look at how to use a 16mm film projector. The film uses the device of showing the wrong way to approach the task followed by the correct method, but watch for the hilarious 'twist in the tale'. This gentle, humorous film stars the wonderful Graham Stark as the hapless projectionist and the genial Frank Williams (Dad's Army) as the vicar.

A pesar de que a finales de los años 20, a Bader le habían amputado las dos piernas, tras un accidente aéreo, gracias a unas prótesis de aluminio pudo participar en la Batalla de Inglaterra.
