Ah the romance from a by gone era, where today in the modern world, the airline industry has its problems after COVID, may not be a safe place to travel with bits falling off aircraft and crashes - rose tinted glasses.
That bastard Beaching and his odious mate Marples shown 2.04 - ripped the country to shreds. Beaching had shares in Marples road building company (oh - he sold them before becoming Transport Minister, to his wife!). Crooks and vandals, both of them should have been put against the wall.
My friend Timothy Melhuish RN died in Sept 23 he was a nav officer on diesel elec subs. He was later commercial Director of Vosper Thorneycroft. Did anyone out there serve with him????
I grew up in Bermuda in the 60's and 70's and 'Look at Life' were one of the British 'filler' programmes in the gaps in American CBS or ABC programmes.They're where I got my love for aviation,parachuting and shipping.
The Lords sold Britain to the American finance tycoons... same thing is happening to USA at the moment, (2024) the people sacrificed to profit a few and is comming rapidly to the rest of Europe. Watch in 2025 how France will experience a most violent social rearrangement. Is the begginig of the end for the Capitalist Democracies... that's why the US is working hard at developing autonomous fighting machines beacuse: "No people overcharged with tribute is fit for empire" Francis Bacon. Cheers from Normandy... and to the Scimitar, a childhood fav.
Beat up Jag at 6:02. Probably just another car to the owner of it. Wonder what happened to it over time ? Restored and still with us to this day or junk yard ?
In the Royal Marines in 1964 my drill instructor said to me in front of all these lovely ladies , ' You don't want to get involved with any of these.' What a stupid insult , and what is worse I believed him !

Fantastic . It's great that we have these digitised films . I love the music at the start.

How thin they were then!Today tubs of lard,some of them.
I remember steam trains in service, much of this now was either outdated or up to date, or an old life seen through rose-tinted glasses.
This ship or one of the King George V Class battleships should have been kept as a museum ship.
Doing physical labour in a suit lol, how times have changed.
What would have then, Nikita Khrushchev, the Russian President, have made of this propaganda film in 1960…?.
Colours were different back then :)
Great informative video. Thank a lot.
This is sad and evil
Apart from the aircraft not much change from Arnhem in September 1944
Heady days when we had an Air Force
Good stuff
Anyone else notice the highly-polished brasses on the webbing, at 5:32 😂
Only the military could do this.

Anyone spot Billy Connelly in the Paras ?
When I see this, I get nauseous. It brings back those scary moments in Thomas the tank engine’s darkest episodes.
love the Bedford RL. great memories
loved those N15 nortons.....looked liked don morley instructor....bloke delivering blood has a lot of faith in bungee cords😂
Note: NEVER SHOW THESE TO THE RESIDENTS OF SODOR
Just what I was thinking..!
Those were the days…Plenty of kit with outstanding training,ability,discipline and pride…
Those were the days!As a 13year old schoolboy I remember looking up to the RAF in awe with the mighty Vulcans and Victors they flew.
Paras suck BBC

Corps of drums band of the Royal Marines
This series of short films, looking at all sorts of things, we're well made, informative, and very entertaining
I was on this flight deck at time of film as mechanic for 804 squadren happy days

Wonderful. Wish we could return to simpler times. Magic
I was impressed and proud during this era but now we are on a slippery slope.
Thankyou for this, I left Chesterfield in 1972, emigrated to South Africa, love all of these childhood memories!

Always an impressive sight!
respect to the men who go out on subs. HMS Narwhal was sunk as a target in 1985 apparently.
Fascinating films from the days when we had a "real" aircraft industry! Thanks for posting.
Don’t steal videos you shitcunt

Again the insult , 'Sometimes they (the Marines ) call them other things.'
