Working on the track in Cab 1. Here is some very rare footage of some of the workers at Longbridge Birmingham

Shame I didn’t get yr old man on it Johnny. Trouble was, you weren’t allowed cameras in there so I couldn’t film him. If he had caught me I would have probably had the sack.

You have better footage then my Sony handycam 2003 lol Also I have been aske dto ask you, Do you remeber the tiolet rolls from this plant? apparently like greas proof paper. hahaha I was only 6 years old when you filmed this haha a certain family member worked there who upgraded to a better job at AP Leamington I will get shot if name drop lol I can take the micky out of some one now with this video. gonna play it at their 76th bd psarty on big screen.

I do believe it was a JVC super VHS, yes one of those shoulder jobs. Remember having to keep the camera under wraps cus they wernt allowed in there. Just in case you filmed someone asleep I guess 😆

@@pbvideoworks I was going to say it would have been a JVC back then. 8mm TDK tapes. My Dad had one. He worked at Rover Nona gate. His name was Tim Donovan. I tell you, this music brings back some memories:
