RAF aviators John Howell and Ray Morse working on a model of a Stirling aircraft at RAF Iver Heath, Pinewood Studios, for use in an RAF Film Production Unit film.
Pinewood Studios - or RAF Iver Heath - was used as the base during the Second World War for the Royal Air Force Film Production Unit, the Crown Film Unit, and the Army Film and Photographic Unit. The studios were used to produce both films advocating the role of the armed forces in the war, and documentary films, recording the progress of the war.
Dorothy Knicky Chapman was posted to Pinewood Studios to serve as a WAAF with the RAF's Film Production Unit, working in the Stills Department. This photograph is one of a set compiled by Chapman, which document her time at Pinewood Studios. It is not clear which of the photographs in the set were taken by Chapman.
Ramon Ray Morse was born in 1907 in Mile End, his family emigrated to Canada after the First World War. On his return to the United Kingdom, he worked as a commercial artist and a make up artist at Gainsborough, and also as a dancer and singer in the theatre. He also made models for Scientific Films and GB Instructional. During the Second World War he served in the RAF Film Production Unit at Pinewood Studios, where he made models to be used in the films they produced.
