Great footage, thanks Mike.

Chancy stuff, throwing percussion-primed 3 inch cartridges like that: you would want to be sure the bloke catching them didn't slip!

The three named tanks were all 2 Troop, A Sqn, 2/9th Armoured Regt. Interesting the last part of the film seems to show a unit sign of '2-5', rather than '2-9' - there doesn't seem to be any 'crud' obscuring the number.

And in the background, a busy road with plenty of CMPs passing as speed (well, speedy by CMP standards!)

Mike
