Paul Drake Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 A Grumman C2A Greyhound leaving the circuit at RNAS Yeovilton, about 17.30 hrs. It was going away from me, and as I'd never seen one before, it took me some time to find out what it was. Also seen, a highly civilianised Lightweight Land Rover in the public car park at Three Okefords Preservation Society Rally, Shillingstone.

Adrian Scott Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 You are all corect , we were filming on the plains with the REME , as the saying goes its not what you know but who you know !!!! . The REME did the transport to keep the cost down for the film , a awsome bit of kit the MAN and trailer , it was as much fun loading the Sexton on Saturday afternoon and turning the rig around at my farm as it was on the film set !!!!

Scammell4199 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 is this a film / programme we can look forward to seeing on the telly at some point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 is this a film / programme we can look forward to seeing on the telly at some point? I asked while I was there and the answer is Yes, it will be on TV, but they haven't sold the programme yet, so I don't know which channel or when it will be on. It might be a 'one-off' or it could be the start of a series. My guess is it could be sometime in the Autumn in the months before Christmas, but that is just a guess.

fayjo56 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 And everyday recently! Grundons WW1 Pearce Arrow is now displayed in the reception of their new offices in Benson, Oxon. It is an ex car showroom so ideal! Their 30's Albion refuse truck is there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Drake Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Also spotted today, 5 Hawker Hunters (yes, five!) doing display over RNAS Yeovilton. Was first made aware when I heard a rushing sound as the first one arrived, I thought it was coming into the flat for breakfast! Have posted pics in Aviation forum.
