Good little documentary with a nice mixture of old and new footage; nice one Danforth!!

Clever of Martin & Barry to speak Dutch so we could still understand......

I actually thought that, minus the Dutch
Parts, it might be good for the Education
Program(me)....

Oh, and the Nederlanders ALL speak English
AND French AND German......

Nice idea D4th, but knowing how things work within that department, I can't see it ever happening! ~x(

Nice find Dan,

The cameraman obviously decided not to use the section of Taff shouting at him as he stood right under the intake with the engines running! X(

Shame they did not want to talk to the plebs, my Dutch is as good as Martin and Barrys.

I'm absolutely serious about using that in the
education program(me)! It is the most concise
piece of video I've yet seen for those who know
little or nothing about Vulcan or her history! It's
all in there with all the numpty FAQs covered.

I also nominate Sam as the over-dubbed narrator!
