Amberley Chalk Pits was one of the 1st places my nan took me exploring when we moved over here from Canada when I was 9. It still holds a very fond place in my heart and is an exceptional day out. There's also a pub across the way from the entrance where once a chap so arrogant that I knew he was so at an age where I hadn't learnt the word tied his boat up & was told he should do so above the jetty stanchions support bars as the river was fairly tidal. He of course proclaimed he knew better and when we returned later for a coke before getting the train home I got to see my first flooded boat and weeping man combo & learnt a critical life lesson in the importance of listening to others.

A stuntman friend, now sadly passed, worked on this film. He recounted a story of the scene on the golden grate bridge where one of the characters jumps from the airship onto the bridge. A stuntman collegue enquired as to how they would film it. He was told that they wold shoot the establishing shot on the bridge itself and recreate the location in the studio for the jump itself. He asked how much that would cost and was quoted a figure. He then said that, if they gave him half of that, he would perform the jump for real.

Jago, not sure if you picked up any more rail related video material at Amberley, but one thing I did see there were some small trucks with metal silhouettes of tanks on top. These were used along the coast at Seaford on tracks laid along the cliff edge. The army used them for aiming practice by releasing them one at a time down the track under gravity and firing out to sea. At night the trucks were connected and pulled back up the track by an engine for the next day. Of course, the local teenagers, including my Dad, used to climb on them at night and ride them down the track, necessitating another return pull by the engine in the mornings!
@johnmurrell31752 жыл бұрын
The target trolley at Amberley is powered by a small diesel engine. From what I could see it ran till a lever on the truck hit a lever by the track and then stopped or possibly reversed. The army still use something similar at Lulworth Ranges, there is a quite complicated track layout. It looks as though it might be electrified with a centre conductor rail but that was looking from a couple of miles away through binoculars. If it was electrified it would not be too difficult to change the speed or stop or reverse the target. Unfortunately the targets are kept in a shed and when they are out the area is closed due to people firing tank shells !

A Pierce Brosnan Bond film, features a car park, that was supposed to be in Berlin. However it was under Wembley Central Shopping Square, attached to Wembley Central Station. The brutalist car park has since been modernised and now has a new entrance, that uses the place where there was a redundant platform at the station, that was originally a coal refuelling platform, before the station was covered over and later a Post Office deliveries, then later still Red Star Parcel deliveries platform, before being abandoned. The entrance used to be a ramp coming up from a side road. The theme of a View To A Kill by Duran Duran, did better than the film, being best seller in several countries and number one in the UK.

The timing was quite difficult with 2 Actors, the time the doors take to close and the train to start. After many attempts the duty manager who was looking out the cab door and closing the doors and telling the driver to go got it all right except when the train moved off the signal was still red and the train was derailed at the points beyond the signal - such are the hazards of movie making.

Great video Any chance or doing something about the tube line used in the Vanquish scene in Die Another Day? Was it off Vauxhall Bridge, fictional station called Vauxhall Cross off the Piccadilly Line?

Jago posted a photo of that very location on his Instagram feed a few days ago.

Interestingly if you take the train to Amberley via Arundel, that stations permanent way is still protected via semaphore signals. (I think)

Proper job mate. The closest thing to a gold mine would be the cinnabar mine in New Almaden just south of San Jose. Other than that, I think the researchers needed to do a little more digging. 😉

Did you visit Dell Quey as I think that is where the poor fisherman, in his boat, gets stranded when all the water drained away ~ or at least the tide went out.
