The Pathe carrier sequence was shot on 26/27.6.44. This reel starts with the 3 destroyed Panthers in Norrey En Bessin

and then moves to show the carier Dopey or Dozy followed by Happy. Then the front view of the carrier followed by the evacuation of civilians from a town (Tourville?). The next scene is of a 6pdr gun pointing at a burning Panther in the streets of Tourville. This is done in one continuous take and there are no Maltida's anywhere on the original film.
All the original film taken in Normandy is available to view free of charge at the IWM in London. Video copies of the films can be purchased and you get the complete raw and unedited footage instead of edited highlights. An absolute goldmine of information and largely neglected.
