On 22 July 1917 a cameraman visited the unit and shot footage of the pilots and their activities. This famous still from the sequence shows, from feft to right, 2Lt Jenkins, Lt Soden, Capt Bishop, Capt Caldwell and Molesworth. Molesworth commented on the occasion, ‘Charlie Chaplin isn’t in it now with us! We were cinematographed the other day. Some of us stood in a row and tried to look pleasant and unconcerned, but this was rather difficult, as everyone else was making rude remarks about us. We then bundled into our new grids, which we have just got, and started off on a stunt formation, nearly funning down the old cinema man to put the wind up him. After we had done a circuit, my radiator began to boil, and I was forced to come down. Thank heaven! it was a good landing, as the old man was still at it turning the handle. My part of the show was to be known as ‘Pilot landing for more ammunition after fierce fight.’ The new ‘grids’ referred to by Molesworth were the first SE 5s to be issued to the unit
