fv1609 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Not quite. I failed an audition as an extra for a Norman Wisdom film, but did watch Normans stuntman drive a double decker bus into the River Teign. I did drive & use the Hornet in a Services Sound & Vision Corporation film made for the Army on the history of Anti-Tank Guided Weapons. The thing that intrigued me most was the director who nipped out to the shops. He came back with a can of black paint, some fire lighters, a large pot of glue and a rubber mat. He cut the mat into strips, wrapped them around the firelighters, stuffed these between the tracks of a nearby tank, poured the glue all over, sprayed the paint all around, then set fire to it. When enough acrid black smoke had built up, I had to drive the Hornet beside it, stop, let the commentator out & raise my missiles. Took several takes & we nearly ran out of acrid smoke. But what they couldn't grasp was that the missile hydraulics only work when the vehicle has stopped so I was a bit slow off the draw to their liking. I don't think the Tank Museum were very pleased about what was done to their tank :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Thanks for the link to the coalhouse fort, got led astray a bit & it took me to the Gary Numan site. Nice to know he's still around. Saw him at an Army Airday show when he flew in. I was nosing around where I shouldn't have been, just taking pictures of army trailers & found Gary having a drink in the pilots beer tent. :? Got a picture somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I have a fibreglass Garand from Saving Private Ryan. Might sell it if anyone wants to make an offer. Tim (too) I am not very sure about price. let me take some photos of it. It is not in very good condition. Some silly so and so tried to cock it and then found that as it was not real it wouldnt and broke it. The it probably got dropped as the end of the barrel got broken off and was reglued. My mate who was in the movie said that they repainted the weapons every night as the paint wore off very quickly. It does have an original leather sling though.

S*D the rifles!! Did You get the Mauser 1898! :nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 S*D the rifles!! Did You get the Mauser 1898! :nut: No, but I did hear a story about it. When the film was in production, the producer bought a Mauser at Auction, supposedly Churchill's gun. The producer paid twice what the gun was worth and this was well publicised in the press. When asked why he paid so much money over the odds, he said that for the publicity it generated for the film, it was cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoranWC51 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I got hold of a bunch of items out of Saving Private Ryan in 1999 from At The Front, just as they started selling the stuff from the movie. Mostly medic's items; helmets, medic's yokes, medic's bags, 2 sets of HBT's, M41 jackets (5), water bottles (4) 1 was used by Van Diesel's character, rough outs and regular boots, rubber Garand, etc. etc. Basically enough items to dress up two G.I.s, one of which a medic. I knew a guy that worked for ATF at the time and he came over to Sweden to study. He was kind enough to bring all my stuff over himself so I didn't have to pay for shipping! The guy died some years ago, aged 20, from an aneurysm in the brain going home from work. He had donated his organs so 4 people could live on because of him. - Have you signed a donation card??? I have. The picture shows some of the items on my mannequinn, Manny Quinn (:-). Yes, he is very sloppily dressed, and he's missing the right boot. This uniform was part of its second movie, "Luck is not an option at Monte Castello" a short film (5 min) about a medic of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force. Hence the 5th Army patch on his right sleeve, and the BEF Cobra patch on his left. The film was shot on June 7th at Colleville sur Mere in Normandy, the surroundings disguised to look like Monte Castello in Italy in November 1944. My Dodge WC51, marked as an BEF ambulance plays an important role in the film. Goran N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
