Notice the prop slowlt windmilling backwards

Something I well remember but folks thought I was imagining

Garry

Yes I did I think I know you well enough now that if you said you'd seen Elvis cutting the next door neighbours grass, I'd believe you

What great quility.....that must rate as some of the finest Bristol 170 contempory film in existance. :tab:

Those were the days.....no computer graphics...just get someone to fly the sequence.

Did I here somewhere the aircraft was damaged in the film but was repaired???

Gorgeous Garry

Couple of little inconsistancies in editing but quite marvellous

Amazing all the faces that were recognizable in the clip - a lot of "stock" actors and I thought i caught a fairly
young Donald Pleasances in there.... But the star had to be the Biffo nice flying and filming


Leif

Great isn't it

The continuity was not too bad for those days the most obvious being the two running enigine.no flaps.

As to the actor they used to appear in so many films of the day.some are s familiar yet the names escape

Year I was born :think:

Garry

A classic in many ways:-aircraft,vehicles and actors.Names such as Donald Pleasance,Raymond Francis,Victor Maddern and others I can't recall. Eric T

I really love those old films

Whenever one comes on the box I am always looking at the backgrounds.

Funny although they are black and white the sun always looks so warm and bright....

Generally a lack of clutter with few signs and vehicles and people less restricted on where they can go
