The Belgian Pavé at 06:03 was in Eupen what is now Haasstrasse continuing on Olengraben (can be seen on street view)and i think the BP service station at 06:13 should be arround Aubel but i don't know if the building is still standing or if i'm correct about my assumption ( Still searching to find it on google earth and not knowing if the building still stands to this day). From what i see on the directions signs mentioning Liège, battice, Maastricht and Visé with the oproximative distance, i should not be to far off my bet in the end. Never would have tought to see that part of Belgium in a British production from 1961 😅.

Can you tell us more about your Grandfather story during this Film or While Working as a BMC worker

The man in the dark coat with the swept back hair I take it

Given the choice at the time these were originally produced I'm inclined to think I would have bought a Morris Mini over a Beatle or something equivalent. But I'm not sure really? I mean, the liquid cooled engine with the added benefit of a coolant based heater versus the Beatles gas heater system is a definite plus.

[@huntsbychainsaw5986]

I just bought a Fiat C body style car recently because I like the balance of size economy and luxury. Useless pondering of a bored trucker I suppose.

[@nickraschke4737]

A big part of the popularity of the Beetle was the absence of coolant in cold weather. So no frozen engine blocks. Big in Ireland for instance.

I didn't know that the fab four had their own brand of heaters 😂😛

Aber bitte nicht mit einer De Havilland Komet in den Urlaub fliegen.😱😱😱😱😱 Viele Grüsse aus Germany

The Comet crashes were in 1954, by 1961 they were as safe as anything else flying but the damaged reputation endures.
