No. 609 Squadron were based at Middle Wallop, Hampshire.

The 16mm gun sight aim point (GSAP) camera would faithfully serve pilots of the United States Armed Forces throughout WWII and
into the post-war years. These were electronically activated camera systems, designed to generally be mounted internally in the
wings of fighter and ground attack aircraft to record details of a strike, to serve as confirmation for claims of enemy aircraft damaged
or destroyed, or to scrutinize for details on new enemy equipment. Internal interval control could be manipulated to change the rate
of exposures depending on time of day or weather conditions. A 35mm lens was most commonly found attached to the front of these
cameras.
