I will be uploading videos featuring all kinds of transport - Ships, Aircraft, Steam and Diesel Locos, Cars and Nostalgia which will mainly be from Cine Films.
I like the British thing about "attention to detail" also is that a real dog at the bottom of the steps at 0:45 mark? "Easy goes there Govenor, don't want to damage the Cortina old jube!"
Sure we all have rose tinted glasses when we’re looking at this but these really were better times. The homogeneity of society then kept us all together. Now we have been invaded by those who are simply waiting for the day they can overthrow us. I can’t even mention who I’m talking about but we all know. Unfortunately saying it would get me in a lot of legal trouble. It’s sad watching our society decline.
I thought it might help if I identified all the locations I recognise. 0:07 Glen Loy. Just north of Fort William and Ben Nevis 1:58 Rogie Falls Rosshire 2:11 - Culloden (site of battle 1746 - marked the end of Bonnie Prince Charley’s failed attempt to take the throne of Scotland). 3:00 - Blair Castle, Blair Athol (Seat of Clan Murray) 4:00 - Forth Bridges near Edinburgh. Rail bridge built 1889 and road bridge 1965. 4:30 - The city of Edinburgh. Mostly Edinburgh castle, Princes Street and Princes Street Gardens. 5:03 - Ullapool harbour, North West Highlands. 5:37 - Corrieshalloch Gorge and the Falls of Measach. 12 miles south of Ullapool. 6:30 - Glascarnoch Dam, Loch Glascarnoch, Garve, (20 miles south east of Ullapool) 8:05 - Morar Bay. Just south of Mallaig. 08:25 - Mallaig harbour.
I would have been 11 and also up there on holiday. I have (somewhere) some digitised. Cine 8 footage of us boarding the 'motorial' from Newton-Le-Willows up to Stirling Callender etc.
@@wtfbuddy1 Thank you Pete. I stood in a different place to the first display and felt it was the better display. Need eyes in back of head as they were flying all over the place.
Nice to see old film of Mallaig in many ways its the same and in others now completely different. Fond memories of Arisaig and Mallaig in the 70s as kids it was a young kids dream location in summer. It now more of a rich mans place now lots of wealthy incomers' building luxury homes .
The last time I went to Scotland we still used cameras with film in them … Imagine that! It was 1989 and we toured around Oban, Fort William, the usual tourist stuff. We must have taken 300+ pictures in the two weeks … When we got back home and had them developed about 290 of them were: * Hills * Trees * Rivers * Lochs i.e. .. they all looked very similar indeed Great upload as always Sir … Thank you for all your time and effort 👍
@@Kaisan-vc8fw Thank you! That was the trouble with Film, objects looked great, but when the film had been developed, you wondered what possessed you to take a photo of it. So different now!
When I was a boy the local sparkie used a Clubman to carry his tools, he later upgraded to a Ford Escort. Was hoping to see Hamish MacBeth, that tin of Crawfords shortbread at the start...simply heaven. Greatly enjoyed seeing the country that my Great Grandparents immigrated to Australia from, bonny Scotland!
@@TransportNostalgia Grandfather was a Shetland islander, Grandmother was also from Shetlands but was originally from Ardrossan, moved to Shetland when they married.
@@James.woofer I don't know about the American Blue Angels, but the Red Arrows take some beating. The displays I saw that day were the best I had seen them.
Great video of many different size engines, @ 5:02 there is Army 3007 carriage, hooked to LWR engine ??? that is a 2-10-0, it could be Gordon - it's history point to engine #600. Anyway thanks for sharing and cheers.
@@wtfbuddy1 Thank you Pete. Unfortunately I don't know much about the trains. My brother was more into Steam Trains than me, although I did collect numbers!!! Got a few more reels of film featuring Steam Trains especially those from Eastern Europe.
@@elainekerslake6865 Thank you. You may be pleased to know I have a film coming up soon which features a Triumph Herald in a driving test - that and a Hillman Imp - which I used to drive in the 1970s.
It was a thrill to go to Skegness in the 1960s for a holiday, so clean and vibrant, so much to do and see, loved the fireworks on the boating lake, mega dump now.
Great video Chris - love watching the age of steam, hearing the sounds of them running when under load, only a few still run in Canada, majority in the Western part of Canada. Cheers and thanks for sharing.
Thank you Pete. I have quite a few reels of cine films of Steam Trains filmed in Eastern Europe from the 1970s. But Part Two of this film comes next week.
@@wtfbuddy1 Thank you Pete. It's not easy videoing the Typhoon Display, especially when filming direct into the sun. But have to keep the plane in my viewfinder because lose it, it's difficult getting it back!!
The class 45/46 were one of the successes of modernisation, think the last 20 sets of equipment were switched to the first 47s. Love the blue and grey days, but didn't like them at the time 😬🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for the upload .
The VC 10 came later, built exactly to BOACs specifications, they then fidnt want it. BOAC became joked as the Boeing only airline company. Very shallow take off angle of those 707s i tjought . Thanks for the upload, quieter gentler less rushed times .😉
Very quaint village, the British had this thing about building right up to the footpath, this was also adopted in Australia in the old days, common in inner city Sydney NSW and Melbourne VIC with lines of "terrace" housing. People passing by on the footpath could see inside your home if the curtains were not drawn. Great classic cars and the local Bobby out and about. Beautiful old castle, a great clip there Chris from days long past.
@@dieseldavetrains8988 Thanks Dave. It was going to be this film or Southend Carnival from the 1970s, but the latter film was twice as long and no time to finish it.
