An Aerial Tour of the Isle of Man

During his time at Culture Vannin, Charles Guard did a lot of helicopter filming of the Isle of Man over the years. This short tour around the coast brings together some highlights.

Isle of Man, 1930's. Film 44496

Isle of Man Publicity film.
Manx Cat (No tail)
An old Manx man sneezes into a handkerchief several times and looks rather sick. A full view reveals him sitting with his feet in a tin bath with a woman working at table nearby. He picks up a brochure of the Isle of Man with the words 'for health and pleasure'. He looks in a mirror willing himself to be well but feeling sorry for himself he takes off his glasses and nods off and dreams. A woman appears at his side dressed rather like a fairy.
The Isle of Man with coastal scenes at Port Erin and the Laxey Wheel (lead mines). A cow grazing in a field, view, and a waterfall. 'The Spirit of the Isle'. A young man asleep dreaming on board ship wakes up as the ship approaches Douglas harbour. Overhead view of the coastal road and beach.
The young man meets a young woman wearing a fur on the promenade and they sit. They then take a ride through streets around the Isle of Man. (back to Old man dreaming). They visit a castle, a river and walk in Castle ruins. Girls play with ball on beach. Lots of hands in the air. They play ring a roses in sea.
Wishing Stone. The man sits and wishes for a kiss. The couple walk over wooden bridge and he picks a flower. (back to old man dreaming and reaches out)
The young couple back at the Wishing Stone look at a book and the custom of a Manx wedding.
Bride, Groom and Guests or villagers are going to the wedding, some on horseback and ladies walk in a long line. Groom and followers are in top hats. At the church (possibly Maughold) the bridegroom and followers arrive on horseback. The men enter in their top hats. The bride's father throws coins to the villagers as a ransom for the bride before going in the church.
The vicar congrtulates the bride and groom coming out of the Church. There is then a race to the Bride's cottage by men on horseback. Back at the cottage everyone is waiting and the riders gallop in. The winner gets a kiss from the bride as a prize with the new husband looking on. The newly married couple kiss. An arch is formed and the couple go underneath, the wedding cake being broken over the brides head (an old custom to bring her luck). Children scrabble on the ground for the cake.
Celebrations, singing and dancing, a fiddler and an old man with a beard singing, another in top hat doing a jig. The couple join in and everyone then dances.
Back sat on the stone the young girl tells him she would love a Manx wedding. They kiss.

Dover: Castle, White Cliffs and South Foreland Lighthouse

I spent one day in Dover. Even if it pretty far from London but with high speed train it's really easy to get here. In one day I managed to look around Dover Castle. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to explore it fully because I really wanted to see White Cliffs. And I wasn't disappointed because they were absolutely gorgeous. I visited a beautiful South Foreland Lighthouse located on White Cliffs. During this short trip I learned so many new things. And I got really lucky with the weather because it started raining when I was really close to the station.

Isle of Man by Drone - Veranda and Below

Veranda and Below - Isle of Man by Drone

The aim is to show there is far more to this island than the TT Races, I love to explore using my Drone and my Motorcycles. My Drone footage even shows me places to re-visit when I view them on the computer screen. Buildings, Valleys, Rivers, Streams, Caves, rock faces that I simply would not know existed until I review this footage. My aim is for you the viewer to also watch these videos and see places that spark that lightbulb moment, they even may make you want to buy a drone and fly the same locations and get closer to those places that I have not yet returned to.

Drone : DJI Phantom 3 Advanced
Phone : Apple iPhone 6s
Apps : DJI Go and Litchi

Editing Info :

Computer : Apple MacBook Pro 15inch Retina (2013)

If any local companies would like to have their name on any of the videos then please contact me on craig.goffin@me.com (I am a hobbiest and have a full time day job 100% unrelated to this channel).

I'd also love to promote any local musicians if you want me to overlay your tracks over my drone footage Royalty free but with your info in the credits or titles.
