I am currently making a short DVD and i want to use the theme tune from the Battle of Britain as background music does anyone know how i go about contacting the people who hold the copyright ? maybe this film tune has an expired copyright and is now in the public domain? any help gratefully recieved.

If you find out which record / cd label last released the soundtrack then you could ring them and find out who possesses copyright. This piece of music wont be in public domain im afraid.

good luck with your project

Nasho, did you read the Daily Telegraph link I posted? Notice the ‘not for sale’ statement?

The Mail has (as usual) deliberately misinterpreted a statement, liked up a bunch of people and misinformed them to get a line of rent-o-rants (just like here). The Telegraph, as used by right wingers who don’t need to run their fingers below the words, actually has several statements quoted from the MoD, not a negative spin on one as per the Mail.

Certain people want you fulminating over utter rubbish like this rather than thinking for yourself, and worrying about what’s important. The fact remains Britain (and anyone’s) historic heritage does not remain in the hands of the Defence organisations in perpetuity; including numerous ex-military historic sites and artefacts in the UK we all treasure.

HMS Victory is not under any real threat (and I’m sorry, but you’d have to be remarkably credulous to believe so) – but a pile of tripe is selling papers and causing discussion – which is what the real point is here. Time to read up (Like how USS Constitution ‘sails’) learn a bit and move on.

If you actually learn a few of the facts (as ‘not provided by your tabloid’) no other country in the world has as much 20 century military material preserved (per area) and raises as much revenue through tourism (internal and external) from it. Rather than crying into your beer, maybe you might like to recognise how well provided Britain is.

Regards,

Some reason at last…

well done Peter and the team, a great achievement.

best wishes,

Knock down the chicken sheds

I would have thought the more Chicken Sheds the better, afterall, isn’t it the Panton’s successes with the Chicken business amongst other things that has allowed them to do the wonderful things at East Kirkby which we enjoy today 😉
