Mike Gilbert on Flyco Roof.

Mike explains – We used this aerial camera for it’s high shutter speed at 8 frames per second and fast lens f2 and slightly screwed out lens barrel for focus.

As I remember we used a ground glass on the focal plane with a lube to set up focus points before attaching the magazine.

This F95 was a squadron aircraft camera adapted by us and not one of the few ground hand held versions available elsewhere at the time.
