In 1969 my husband and I married in Johannesburg flew to Durban we were there for a week then took a ship 🚢 to Venice 22 long days.we visited all our big family’s and flew back.

Looks like a really good day out, a little bit of everything. Some super fancy dress costumes. And, being pre-1980s, no obesity. Largely proves it wasn't having cars that caused that problem, but mostly diet.

Lack of road markings, lack of parked cars and road signs, lack of obesity.

No, the vessel in the clip is a modified black Swan Class Frigate, Verulam had 4 x 4.7" single mountings and this ship has 3 x 4" twin mountings.

Was there 70,71 the meteors where the last ones still flying in the RAF

great stuff, thanks👍

I was there mid 60's for more than 12 months. Long holiday!

White People built such a beautiful civilization ❤ and now raw sewage is just pouring onto the beach. I miss the days when the ADULTS were in charge.

Good grief I was at this Families Day! I was eight years old and my dad flew Argosies at RAF Changi, I was at the primary school there. We had a Changi Cub Scout stall and we sold whatever the pack brought to put on our table. I absolutely remember the parachute jump and asking my dad why it took so long for them to jump from the aircraft. Happiest days of my childhood, thank you for uploading this.

Brilliant! I recently visited the museum and was so umpressed with the amount of exhibits on display and staff I became a member that very day and offered my services to help out.

The late Neil Williams is the pilot in the film.

1966 was not the last days of FEAF , it was still FEAF when I left in 1969

There is a Magester stored at the Brownsville Airport in Brownsville Texas. Camouflage top and yellow undersurfaces.

Andrew - please get in touch. My father (also, Peter Maxfield) was a good friend of Robert from the same Draft during WW2. I have a couple of photos of them together in Tel Aviv in 1944, many mentions in my father's war diaries, and the 'Pyramus' (Gianaclis) 75 O.T.U. account of the trip out of the Sudanese desert after jumping out of the fuel-starved Ventura. Pete.

It's one of the first two Lloyd International Bristol Brittanias, either G-ANCD or G-ANCE.

I was 13 at the time in Annan.

The olden days when geylang road and orchard road was a two way street

Thk.u I will be happy if my late dad were to attend this back in the day,he was from RAF Changi (Kami Melindungi Semua)

“What’s stupid?”……………..”Gary,s Voice!” 🤣

I was one of those kids watching 😊

The TAA Viscount is VH-TVB Gregory Blackland, it was delivered to the airline on 25/11/1954. So the film has to be after that date.

Nice!.. always a delight to visit 👍✈️🇳🇿

1.58 my Papa Stewart Thomson appears on this video, he was a flight engineer during WW2 & then worked at the Test beds for Rolls Royce, he is sadly no longer with us, so it is nice to see him on this video❤️

Wow!!!! Are there more videos of changi?

I was there in 1950 raf changi.

Finished the drive at Burn Bank? I used to live at 2 Burn Bank in 1972 to 1973 so would have been your neighbour for a bit.

Who’s the driver ?

Very nice. I like this "old fashioned" English. Well, ok, the sound of engine is self understanding...

I was there, aged 5. Subsequently spent my student holidays working at the Museum of Flight, helping to repaint the airframe and doing guided tours of the cockpit during the Museum’s special event days.

Next get him to say "I'm the First Lieutenant here, and don't you forget it"

buildings havent changed much!

How the bloody hell did that thing land at Strath!

Hi, are you able to tell us more about this film? Its a great snapshot in time of my home town.

Brilliant

So great to see this film. My uncle (who passed away in 2020) went to see it landing. Wish I could have been there, the Vulcan is such a beautiful aircraft.

Hi there, how can I contact you? I am keen to screen some of your grandfather's home movies for a festival I am organising in Singapore. Thank you.

You should be given an OBE for Servicess to Parenting and National Morale! This is one of the most marvelous things I've ever seen. A wonderful reminder that there's still hope and the light of joy in this dark world. And what an absolutely adorable boy! Thank you so much for bringing him up so well and for posting this!

Great video , thank you for posting

I was the young man in the film.I remember it well !

No mention of supersonic. Bl00dy yanks ; )

Times have certainly changed there on the island state. You would be hard pressed these days to see so many goofy looking White people gathered together all in the one place there on Singapore.

The Herald was part of an airborne cavalcade in 1959 that included the Focker Friendship being considered here in Aotearoa by the domestic carrier, NAC as their DC3 replacement. Public sentiment was divided as to which aircraft type should fly our friendly sky's. The baby boomer generation didn't give a flying fig, however, the anglophile generation that immediately preceeded the boomers would give nothing but full support for the Herald. As it happened though, NAC bought and operated the Fokker Friendship well into the 1980s. Despite threats of trade Sanctions by the British if NAC bought the Dutch Fokker airliners. A compromise was reached and perfidious Albion's Sanctions were averted when the Friendships we fitted with British electronics. The Friendships served New Zealand for thirty years, latterly under Air New Zealand ownership, progressively being rundown through the 1980s before the last of the fleet was withdrawn in 1990.

Another great vulcan theses should be kept flying

Who came up with the name, "Gnome" for an aircraft engine?? 100% uninspiring. Somebody's never heard of or understood sales psychology. Still, they prevail. Funny world. =PC=

A lot of these were concept aircraft that did never fly, why did you show them

Terrific! I’d never heard of this company!

Must've been in the days before the "talkies".

Oh my!

I just found out via Facebook that the Auster propeller was actually fake and they staged the engine test as a joke - so the sound effects were added later! I didn’t realise that when I first watched the film 😂
