Unknown user says
"Formation of American Mustang planes" - actually these are aircraft of No. 400 Squadron RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force).
"Pilots of an Army Co-operation Squadron walk towards their Mustang aircraft" - the two men featured are F/L Duncan "Bitsy" Grant, and F/L John Morton. (Sadly Grant was killed shortly after this film was made, on 22 September 1943).
Rose Vernon says
268 Squadron. At 46 seconds into the film the shorter man on the right is my father, Alan Richard Hill DFC. He was so young! And I am so proud of him.
