1. Gorleston Beach Gorleston On Sea
Gorleston-on-Sea, also known colloquially as Gorleston, is a settlement in Norfolk, England, on the south of Great Yarmouth. Situated at the mouth of the River Yare it was a port town at the time of the Domesday Book. The port then became a centre of fishing for herring along with salt pans used for the production of salt to preserve the fish. In Edwardian times the fishing industry rapidly declined and the town's role changed to that of a seaside resort.

The Friendly Invasion, East Anglia, UK

The Friendly Invasion commemorates the bravery of over 300,000 USAAF servicemen who were in East Anglia during World War II. Their arrival had the biggest landscape and cultural impact of any in our history since the Norman Conquest. This film takes its inspiration from US propaganda film 'Welcome to Britain 1943' - and shows just how much things have changed... for the better!

Military Revival, Old Buckenham, 2014

A gathering of historical and classic military memorabilia at Old Buckenham Airfield in Norfolk. The second such event saw a welcome attendance of the Burma Chindits and their mules display, a Second World War Japanese display and an East German hospital and soldier. My thanks for their information and time. Also in appearance amongst the various vehicles, tanks and lorries (and a mobile crane) were WWII Soviet, American, British RAF Regiment, German forces and a Vietnam era Australian setup. The Alvis FV432 APC ride featured is one of two ride vehicles at the show, the other being a Vickers Self Propelled Gun. The music audible in parts of the footage is part of the 1940s vintage attractions which also featured a 1940s Hangar Dance.
