Its armed crew of five surrendered to George Muir, lone keeper of British War graves, who was working nearby. London is ready. Rings of guns, besides balloon barrages and squadrons of aircraft, are now meeting German air raiders. Part of the flight deck of the British Aircraft Carrier, H.M.S. Ark Royal, so often 'sunk' by Nazi propaganda. From the deck of H.M.S. Repulse you are looking at another mighty member of Britain's Navy, H.M.S. Hood, as she sweeps majestically on her way. Behind the blare of propaganda and quick German successes there is another grimmer and truer story - her mounting losses in machines and men. Once this smouldering heap and scattered rubbish was a Heinkel bomber. The British submarine, Sunfish, returning to port from the Norwegian coast, where she had sunk four German ships. Big guns ready for the ships of Britain's Navy, already the mightiest in the world. Field-Marshall Lord Milne, the Master Gunner, inspecting Royal Artillery volunteers from Newfoundland, the oldest Colony of the British Empire. British air-gunners are trained on the ground before they fly. They learn to shoot on a range fitted with gunner's cockpits and targets showing the outlines of aircraft. The 'sting' of a British Wellington Bomber. This bomber inflicted heavy damage on the German forces when they invaded Holland and Belgium. The Earl of Athlone, Governor General of Canada, watching the firing of an anti-tank gun, when he visited the Canadian troops in England. All that remained of a German bomber, brought down at a British East Coast town, which exploded on striking the ground. With her wake showing the turn she is making, H.M.S. Barham provides a picture of speed and power. Picture Sheet No. 11. Issued by Information Office, P.O. Box 384, Salisbury.
