Bristol Blenheim crewman bails out just in time after his bomber was shot down by flak in late 1941

A familiar clip for many but this good quality copy was worth sharing again.

The unidentified crewman is paraded in front of the cameras by his Italian captors after the Bristol Blenheim he was flying in was brought down by anti-aircraft fire. The Blenheim was typically crewed by three men, one can speculate that not only has he just been through this dramatic ordeal but has lost two friends and comrades in the process. The way he clutches his parachute harness at 0:11 is a small but poignant detail.

The turret gunner entry hatch was located on top of the fuselage, in this iteration of the film it seems like there is a human figure attempting to escape through this hatch.
