No problem Nic

I can't take the credit for finding it, I spotted it on the WWII re-enactors forum!

Cheers

For info one of the producers of this film is James Dorrian, author of several excellent books on the raid, and the link is listed on his Operation Chariot blog. James was up at Fort William with all of us for the Remembrance weekend :
