About 25 minutes long, bit of something for everyone in the "nostalgia stakes..."

Really enjoyable, and I'll bet someone from here will recognise someone...?

I wrote my Masters thesis on Airworks and their involvement in the development of crop dusting in the late '40s-early '50s many, many moons ago; in fact, viewed that same video in the National Archives (16mm film back in those days). Thanks, Bazza.

Good stuff, though reconsidering my comments about "recognising people" I tend to forget not everyone is as old as me.... sad.gif

Bazza , I am very sure they played this many years back at my old primary school , or wonder if it could have run it during the TV1 country calender back in that day of Black and White TV .

Yeah, I thought of you when I saw the opening few moments, although probably nothing you haven't seen before.
