Pathe News clips. Fascinating footage!

[59Prototype]

​Yesterday I was looking for a Pathe News clip on the 1962 FVRDE Exhibition at Chertsey which I found:

In looking for the one above I also came across the following that appeared to be Chertsey related. (They are in chronological order):

http://www.britishpathe.com/video/selected-originals-news-flashes-the-army-on-wheels 1954 – The Army on Wheels again but outakes, etc. (No sound)

The following have no direct connection with Chertsey as far as I can see but are still fascinating to look at, especially the 1931 tank.

Not mv related, but I was hunting about on the net on a subject that my father had an interest in. A search link led me to the Pathe news site... Then the first film I watched completely dumbfounded me as I realised I was watching my father in 1959! None of my family had any idea it ever existed.
