The EA Film Archive footage is quite a find. I'll show it to my aunt who attended the featured school (CCHS) and who was certainly evacuated from Clacton herself. Incidently, her husband worked for a while as a fitter at Parkeston and one of her sons is presently employed in a similar capacity at Bounds Green TMD. I'm sure that they'll both be interested too and, with luck, may have more to contribute.
Many thanks.
