My spoken english isnt good, but I hears she talked much about qualifications. A fun fact is, the official demands on their flying qualifications were very strict. Several hundred hours of solo flying. But when the demand on more pilots come, even female pilots, the demands were reduced somewhat; and what really decided was a rather basic flying test (essentially, start in the Moth trainer, fly around the area in a quadrat, land) And if they managed the test (and of course, physical examina, security OK, etc) they were let in, and got more training inside the program... Thus some naturals with suprising few solo flying hours did come in... Weak palookas of course did never come in, or were thrown out during the training course. But naturals had a fighting chance to come in. The brits misogyny was much lesser than americans.
Thank you for this video. I cannot support the burning man ritual as it contributes to global warming needlessly. How horrible that they put living things inside in ancient times. Was empathy a later development?
Wow, this is the first time I've heard my Grandma's voice since around the time of her death! Thankyou for this. I am so proud of her. She had some stories to put it lightly...what a lady.
We're very built up but now with the developments of Debenhams, leisure world, maritime gateway, mayflower Park, train station, bargate and the completed ocean Village, centenary Quay etc we will be a powerhouse and have a peng skyline. Love the half Cockley half farmer accent , very ard. Up the saints mush
I sailed in the races on a class two topsail schooner. We were part of the group that started in the ASTA races in Venezuela then joined the STA races in Porto. Thank you for the memories!
One or two errors and missed out things, like the double high tide is not just Southampton that gets type of tide, there are a fair few places in the world that has double high tide, and the one in China even has a double low water, what causes the double high is the bounce back. But having these double high tides has it down turns also, like the tidal range is shallower and the movement of water becomes slower. Like we only have the highest tides of 4.9 metres, which will only give us an 8 knot down tide speed, even in the medieval times long before they started to dredge the channel, ships could only get to the town walls at high tide, in the 1600s and 1700s, they put walls of planks along the low point of the tide, so when the tide was on its way out it would cut a deeper channel. Which extended the length of time a ship could come up river to the port
It’s part of history wether positive or not and the plane should be kept to its historical spec . If you’re that offended just by looking at it that’s a you problem .
Trevor, if you see this, does Stephen still remember me and the ridiculous story of the sherbet fountain at The Convent prep school in Abingdon ? Christine Knibb ( Scarff ).
I was a friend of Trevor’s younger brother, Stephen as we were at school together at the Convent Prep School in Abingdon.I remember going with Stephen and his mother to see Trevor flying the Tiger Moth ( taking a rather nice picnic ! ) when Stephen and I were about 8 years old ! Happy days !
This is a wonderful video summarising a beautiful city in this day and age. You should produce a series based on specific periods. Incredible that the city has such history!
I am ridiculously proud to have studied and lived here! I so wish I could somehow restore the city to its former glory... restore the old town INTO an old town for starters. So many opportunities here.
Hi Thank you for your comments. We are just about to put the cruiser up for sale :( please contact us if you are interested. Its been a hard descision as its a very good business that weve loved building. Sadly I have some health issues and now unable to continue :(
A truly awful film with dreadful voices, silly script (it was like a macaroni pudding), leaps around and totally fails to portray Southampton's vibrancy, its stature and its wonderful people. And I am a Yorkshireman! Can't believe it was a professional production.
Those voices are (or were) the accent of Southampton. And that 'script' were taken from newspaper articles and dairies. For validation of the accent just listen to Benny Hill's accent.
Remember seeing this on 31st December 2000 where West Quay South is now, projected onto old town walls, but was then unfortunately interrupted by breakdowns. Nice to see it right the way through......
Went one day in 1996. Fabulous layout. Think they sold Hornby and Lima stuff out the front. Day I was there it was empty. Guess young people havent got into the hobby.
