barrynevuk Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I've found this British Pathe sight tonight. I have spent over an hour liiking at some of the films, there is even 1 of a saracen loosing a wheel, it did fly well. Some great footage of post war British vehicles. Some nice scenes of early cheiftains, centurians etc. http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=42513 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runflat Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I've spent many an hour looking through these films - it beats TV -and now have over 40 pages of notes (mainly WW2 vehicles). So do ask if you're looking for anything in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for posting, it is going to take a while to go through all of these!:tup::.... it's ok, Montie, I found the 'wheely good one',....It's called 'Mechanised Marvels' the commentator wrongly introduces a Saracen, as a Saladin, but it's definately one of our 'beauties'....... it drives down a steep slope into a wood, where a 'staged' explosion takes place, -watch for the 'flying wheel' :-D(all 200kgs of it!:shocked:), then a saracen drives out with a front wheel missing (-probably not the same one that drove in....I'll have to watch it again and check their numbers):cool2::cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
