59Prototype Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Yesterday I was looking for a Pathe News clip on the 1962 FVRDE Exhibition at Chertsey which I found: http://www.britishpathe.com/video/vehicles-for-army 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/the-army-on-wheels 1954 The Army on Wheels http://www.britishpathe.com/video/selected-originals-news-flashes-the-army-on-wheels 1954 – The Army on Wheels again but outakes, etc. (No sound) http://www.britishpathe.com/video/armys-new-65-ton-tank 1955 Conquerer tank http://www.britishpathe.com/video/stop-at-nothing-tanks-aka-stop-at-nothing-tanks 1956 Tank http://www.britishpathe.com/video/armoured-cars 1959 Saladin http://www.britishpathe.com/video/army-shows-new-weapons 1961 - Chobham http://www.britishpathe.com/video/meet-the-chieftain 1963 Chieftain tank. Note Chobham misspelt as the clip begins! http://www.britishpathe.com/video/mechanised-marvels 1966 FVRDE http://www.britishpathe.com/video/army-vehicles-tested 1966 Tank and Saladin testing 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. http://www.britishpathe.com/video/tanks-swim-now 1931 tank http://www.britishpathe.com/video/governments-giant-storehouse-for-mechanised-units 1938 Storehouse of army vehicles http://www.britishpathe.com/video/army-fighting-vehicles-display-reel-1 1954 Tanks Bovington – Reel 1 (No sound) http://www.britishpathe.com/video/army-fighting-vehicles-display-reel-2 1954 Tanks Lulworth – Reel 2 (No sound) http://www.britishpathe.com/video/engineers-in-battle 1963 REME Gillingham display http://www.britishpathe.com/video/bridge-building-aka-army-bridge-building 1963 Bridge building Would anyone like to comment and are there others that can be added to the list? I’m sure there are, I can't have found all of them! Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hair Bear Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 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.
