Combined Operations Pilotage Parties (COPP) were in Malta based at Għajn Tuffieħa. The area already had an established military and naval presence.
This silent footage - of troops putting on a demonstration in the main bay - was filmed in September 1942, before the first COPP team arrived.
The man with the signal flag at the start of the footage is standing on the north side of the bay, facing south.
