Regrettably this can't be posted to YouTube, despite being a Central Office of Information film (British government), and thus now in the Public Domain. It is auto-blocked by YouTube's automatic copyright-based censoring system. Presumably YouTube's system is detecting some of the film's Ralph Vaughn Williams music as also being present on a contemporary album.
