YnysMon Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I only watched the first minute or so (so far) and thought EEK! Fancy checking your fuel level with a (presumably lit) fag in one hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to be the in thing back in the day 😁 They even got Jim Brooker of Blakes wearing one! Sorry about the quality but the photo is from Blakes catalogue of 1964, same year as the film. The photo was taken on my father's River Cruiser, Evening Flight, on Wroxham Broad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wussername Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Ah! The bobble hat. Essential. The bobble protected the head getting in and out through the door. In the day all norfolk boat builders were 4ft 8. The tall ones 5ft 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIDH Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 What a wonderful film, and put together quite well considering the editing equipment available at that time. So many of the scens hadn't changed from today. I noticed that the decks on the boat they were on, were very wide by today's standards. It also got me thinking that Ludham Bridge can be chaotic at times now. What must it have been like when there were between 2.000 and 3,000 boats all vying to get under?

LizG Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 We all had bobble hats then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydraser Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I enjoyed the film. I understand why they put a projector sound on but I found it annoying after a while. At the start I thought we were in for a running commentary by the Clangers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 It also jumped around the Broads rather. No continuity. Fascinating though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQ Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I recognized a couple of the sailing boats, and I suspect I know / knew some of those in the Enterprise dinghies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewcook Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Hi Lulu It is a very good Old Video. For the First time in my Boating years, I went to the Broads St the end of February it was a sheer Bliss going that time.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulN Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Thank you. Really enjoyed that. When I saw the Anglia TV intro, I thought it might be Nicholas Parsons saying 'From Norwich, It's your quiz of the week' 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Thanks very much Liz, I hadn't seen that before. Nice to see Dougie Blewitt on the mainsheet and I noticed David Bray as well. Dougie was chairman of the trust at that time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEM Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Since the title of this thread includes "Non Broads" I offer you this video I made during my 1-week vacation on Mallorca at the end of September this year: The trains are a real gem - lovingly maintained. The journey takes about an hour each way. What I missed filming was on the climb out of Soller (return journey) the train driver had to do an emergency stop due to a car that shot across his bows. Then both drivers had a great argument! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
