I saw this film at a cinema in Chertsey, Surrey, England as a 6 year old and it has remained with me for 60 years. Only recently did I find out its title, although the exploits of F for Freddy are vivid in my memory. As a child I was unaware of the fact that it was made by the RAF themselves but I would suggest that it was a more realistic view of WWII than any of its successors. I would love to see it again and would recommend it to anybody who can get hold of a copy.
