The photographs alone. On 29 November 1940 a German reconnaissance aircraft crossed Wiltshire with its cameras running, a picture about every 15 seconds. Its long-lens frames, now in the US National Archives, are joined in order and flown again at twice the real speed, with no captions: Avoncliff, Trowbridge, Bratton, Salisbury Plain, Stonehenge, Amesbury, Clarendon, Redlynch.
