Wow, what wonderful stuff!
That "wee flm" is an epic, so atmospheric.
I have a good friend who comes to visit us in Andover about once a month. He is a good 10 years younger then me and too young to remember those days.
We always make time to watch the film together.
He has now bought his own copy, but we still watch it!
So many cracking moments, mostly from big Frank!
Trying to eat his breakfast with a Mecano set on his hand.
Then while being strapped up by the nurse, she says "you wont be racing on the weekend" Franks reply "och, yer'll never know"
The impromputu practice in the lanes.
The commentary!
"Theres a wee dog on the course. If you value yer pets......!"
But mostly for the magic of those days and the courage of the men.
Wonderful wonderful film...

I think a book on the Armoy Armada would be a good idea.

I also felt sadness when Norrie was mentioned..
