Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales (1926)

This extract comes from Claude Friese-Greene's 'The Open Road' - originally filmed in 1925/6 and now re-edited and digitally restored by the BFI National Archive. Britain seen in colour for the first time was heralded as a great technical advance for the cinema audience - now we can view a much improved image, but one which still stays true to the principles of the colour process.

The rather haphazard journey from Land's End to John O'Groats creates a series of moving picture postcards. Look out for shots containing the component colours - red and blue-green - such as when a little girl in a red coat and hat walks among peacocks in the grounds of a castle, and three girls with red curly hair pose by the sea at Torquay.

The car is a Vauxhall D-type - considered a sporty model at the time. A long-distance journey by car was a relatively new concept, with none of the amenities en route now taken for granted. The visit to a petrol station shows smoking on the forecourt: no health and safety issues back then! The travelogue ends with a series of recognisable London landmarks. Much remains the same - one major exception being the volume of traffic on the roads. (Jan Faull)

WWII Weekend Reading, PA, USA, June 3-5, 2011 (Video only version)

Note: This is the video only version.

WWII will definitely not go out of fashion sometime soon. This is 'WWII Weekend' in Reading, PA, USA, a very lively example of. Every year in the beginning of June the world's largest WWII event takes place here with more than 1500 re-enactors in a huge camp, with numerous contemporary vehicles and airplanes from bombers to fighters, war games, music shows and many of the old veterans.

The show June 3-5, 2011, was very impressing I must say. My wife and I had gone to see New York City and I managed to squeeze in a weekend of our holiday at 'WWII Weekend' in Reading - I also wanted to fly B-29 and P-51D :o)

The video covers Saturday-Sunday, June 4-5 with HD video and stills from the show.

'WWII Weekend' is arranged by Mid-Atlantic Air Museum (MAAM) located at Carl Spaatz Field near Reading, PA, USA, around 200 km south west of New York City. It has only been held for 20 years but is now the world largest of its kind, and the major contributor of income for the museum.
