  • Many short films were made during WWII by the RAF Film Production Unit. These pieces were known as GENs or GAFs and showed various aspects of the RAF at war - including 'on location' footage to send home, and home-life footage to send out to those serving.
    This 5 minute Imperial War Museum clip, GEN No. 16, is from July 1945, and shows how life was carrying on in Coventry shortly after hostilities had ended, with the specific message to "Get the thing over chaps, and come back and help us"! It contains wonderful footage of a recently blitzed but cleaned up and recovering Coventry, with a look towards a bright future with some hard work ahead. A gem of a film for anyone with a Coventry connection.
