TIME OUT IN TRINIDAD - 1950s - Pt. 1 - Piarco Airport & Drive South

All film contributed by Sooty1312. This video is not to be copied without express written consent of the operator of this channel. In this nostalgic sequence, a British family arrives in Trinidad in 1955, via New York on a Pan American DC6B. The camera lingers on the beautiful airliner as it lands and taxis to Piarco's quaint wooden terminal building of the 1950s. Note the ground crew unloading baggage and a later shot of the flight crew returning to their cars, the stewardess in her semi military PAA uniform. After loading the car the family begins their drive south to their new home in Penal. Note the practically empty roads! A far cry from today.
