Why not have a blast with trains if there’s a historical link with aviation? Mind you, this is a very tenuous one, I have to admit! Yes, they’re locos (Pacific Class, so I’ve been informed). The aviation link is they’re both at Binbrook, tucked away on the technical site. It would be interesting to know how they arrived and better still, what’s going to happen with them. They might not even be there now as these were taken on the 5th of March last year.

You ought to see some of the classic cars on some of these sites. A compiund full of Moggie Minors and a variety of Austin A-series’ at one location.

they were there a couple of months ago too.

Hmm not a bad idea as ill be getting the train up but i dont fancy my chances of not getting lost.

Its easy to find. Just follow A15. No problem. A cheap map will have all the directions you need. If you are in the area I would recommend staying and visiting coningsby and newark. Coningsby has a bus service every hour that has a bus stop right at the BBMF visitor centre. Not sure about Newark though.

Pete, its great that More 4 are showing these films. I think the reason for showing them in the afternoons (as do the BBC and Channel 4 ) is that they expect these films to gain more viewing figures at this particular time of day. This is probably true, but this kind of scheduling, often done by the BBC and Channel 4 with any film over 40 years old, only encourages the myth that all younger people don’t or wouldn’t like to appreciate films of this era.

I’m doing a radio interview in late March with the BBC. The researcher who chatted with me in advance seemed flabbergasted by my interest in history and the fact that my favourite radio stations were BBC3 and BBC4. If these interests are seen as the preserve of an older generation then we really should worry.

Best Regards, Steve

The tower at Strubby, Lincs.

taken last week.

Ollie,

perhaps a letter to the producer, David Puttnam, might be better than contacting Warner. Puttnam, as you may know, recieved the fellowship at the BAFTAs. They showed a number of clips from the film amongst the tribute. His speech was pretty moving, not often you say that about the Oscars/BAFTAs!

Good luck with the rest of your project.

Steve

shutter lag?
