Bob Grundy Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thank for posting this. Note, one of the bikes has a AA badge on the front mudguard which is unusual for an army motorcycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woa2 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Colour film of British troops! I know colour film was rare in wartime as it had to imported from America, so very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Child Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 It's interesting to compare the colour of paint with background foliage and uniform green. Presumably at 1944 that's original SCC15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) I posted the link to this fascinating rare colour film on here a few years ago, it was discussed well then , someone even recognised most of the locations where it was shot Edited February 16, 2014 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) This is one to try and get hold of. It used to be available on VHS from the IWM....but not any more for some reason? A friend did a couple of dozen copies of mine onto DVD but I think they are all gone now. It's about 3 hours worth in B&W and all narrated by Chumely-Warner!!!! Brilliant! Ron PS I just heard from my mate. He has five of these double DVD's left if anyone wants one at £15 inc post in UK. PM me for his email address.
