Brilliant videos!! :welldone:

Sadly though that is one reason why I now have high frequency deafness, although it is great to hear the roar of those Olympus Engines after all these years but when they were operational, I often thought about going around to the armoury and giving them a couple of rounds just for a bit of peace and quiet!! :@ :worried:

You can get the Radio Times on line now so you can search for programmes by name rather than that old fashioned turning bits of paper malarkey.
Ref the video, very nice but I wish he'd got a tripod!
