Unfortunately, I never took any film around that area. Although I did visit and walk the area. Thanks for interest.

Thanks for interest. It's definitely 8mm cine film. I have the original on reel, along with other family films, which I transferred personally onto computer. Also, video systems were not in use by public in early 1960's. Unless you've confused term 'video as cine film'.

@@mccheyne I made this Super 8 video with an app on my phone kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5Kmfaqhg6ySgZI

@@colinscotland2887 Hi, I saw that . But it is only an app that creates, artificially the appearance of a former 8mm format. It can never replace the actual film itself, only digitally. The adding of an ugly sprocket hole on the left side doesn't appear when viewing home movies in normal viewing. That's just another digital addition to give an impression of age. . But I also noticed on your wee film, that the overall subject, background, the people, their daily dress code including the wearing of covid masks, the vehicles can't be aged. They will always remain modern. The the film for the taxi was Standard 8mm cine film , which was had a smaller frame size and large sprocket hole as opposed to 'super' 8mm which had a larger frame and picture and smaller sprocket hole. I have still those reels and worked with both many years ago.

A great wee movie. I’m reminded of feeling privileged when I was asked to help with the ‘flag off’ and join the procession with the Radio Clyde outside broadcast car when the horns sounded and the cabbies set off from Kelvin Way. I’m certain that the drivers enjoyed the occasion as much as the children. Well done the generous guys, and girls, who gave up so much of their time, (and a days pay), to make the sure that, rain or shine, the young boys and girls from the city, could have fun on the beach in Troon. Happy days. 🍦🍦🍦 🚕🚕🚕🚕🚕

Great to see a mention from dj radio Clydes Dave Marshall.one time member of HBS with Ken Bruce. A service formed by the late Eric simpson.

John Wright was there when I started. I have since met some of the electricians since leaving.

Good call, I remember that display from being a young plane spotter from Glasgow, prior to joining the raf

Shame what happened to the strathsllen collection...great days

They were dark times, poverty, cruelty all tinged with sexism, racism and child abuse. Those rose tinted glasses need cleaning!
