Britain on Film: Messing about in Boats.

[Tiny Turnip]

Great stuff. Fascinating, nostalgic documentary footage from 1959 and the early sixties. If you keep your eyes open, there are many many clips used in the edited 30 minutes, suggesting there's a huge wealth of material archived.

Stinkers! I'm sure I've managed to post iplayer stuff before - maybe its a new thing.... Anyway, here it is on Youtube - episode 6 on the playlist - hurrah! (and possibly available for longer than 28 days on YT - you never know!)
