Jeffds1360 Posted May 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 I'll just film it on super8 and do my own commentary. Maybe dig out my Elizabethan reel to reel and synchronise with a clapboard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Clark Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 A good programme, with insight into the leaders of the Coventry motor industry from their family descendants. Anyone notice Chris Allen (former TSSC Birmingham Area Organiser), in the Herald with presenter Mark Evans at MIRA? Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve P Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Good programme,noticed Chris Allen as well.Wasn`t aware Sir John Black was a veteran of Gallipoli and Ypres either. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVD3500 Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 I scanned for Triumph content... I think there was some new footage I have never seen before... Very little Spitfire/GT6/TR stuff .... I will watch it in its entirety later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Thanks for the link, watched tonight, some new bits and an interesting programme. Just thought it was a bit rushed towards the end. Could have been a two part programme, I'm sure they cut alot that could have gone in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Certainly makes you wonder what could have been if it wasn’t for the cumbersome inefficient cost cutting impersonal BMC machine combined with powerful union action and poor government combining in a perfect storm to decimate the industry reputation. A lot to be said about keeping it smaller and more manageable. Really interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Flinn Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 I found the programme fascinating, ended up watching it twice😁 Lots of archive footage I've never seen before too. A good mixture of footage on a lot of the Coventry Manufacturers, Chris Allen's excellent 12/50 Herald featured and some good Rally footage of the Hillman Imp too. All in all a great programme Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
