During recent years I have made a number of short videos covering a range of topics including visits to the Bluebell Railway, sailing my yacht from the UK to Greece in 2013, wildlife, experiments with Timelapse photography and music. As we enter 2022 I intend to focus more on my passion for photography, nature, and, of course, our local Sussex based steam railway - The Bluebell Railway. I spent over 40 years selling IT solutions but since I retired in 2013 now have more time to spend on photography and videography
A Morning at WWT Arundel Wetland Centre
This short video illustrates what we saw and photographed during our four hour visit to the WWT Arundel Wetland Centre on December 3rd, 2024. It was considerably more productive than I had anticipated with several glimpses of a Kingfisher, a Heron and a Little Egret as well as numerous Grelag and Canada Geese. We laso saw a Kestrel and a Sparrowhawk and a number of Cormorant and Tufted Duck. I hope you enjoy this brief glimpse and thank you for taking a look..

Shot in October 2024, this is footage and still images taken during my first ever visit to RSPB Dungeness. I enjoyed what i saw, especially the Great White Egret, Cattle Egret, Great Crested Grebe, Lapwing and Tufted Ducks as well as a variety of insects. A very enjoyable location and i was surprised at how few visitors I saw during the time i was there.

Thank you so much. You’ve helped us identify little grebes!
Looks fantastic now with the winter birds coming in .I want to go to Pagham and Pulborough to start bird watching .
First meeting I attended I think. Note the massive crowd, even with cold weather. I wouldn't get out of bed to watch racing these days. Motor racing was brilliant in the old days.
Dungeness, passed by a few times so I recognize the powerplant. That Bee up close with the purple calyx flowers, beautiful. Music goes very well with it. Beautiful video!
Defitenly the 1974 airshow. In 1976 the F-15 Eagle was wearing a bicentennial logo on its tail fins and the Red Arrows had moved on to the Hawk trainer. I remember too the Fokker F-27, F-28 and VFW 614 display very well.
Great footage! cool seeing Ronnie Peterson footage, one of my favourite drivers!
From the days when all the car marque's looked totally different from one another. My first gp visit was Silverstone 77, first race of the Renault RS 01 turbo, great day out , horrendous Q to leave the circuit.🤣
Thank you so much for posting this, it was the first Grand Prix l attended and my first visit to Brands. Great footage.
Might have missed it, but didn't catch Tom Pryce? I was lucky enough to interview Sir Jackie Stewart (taped not in person sadly) who categorically stated that Tom would have been world champion had he survived that awful crash in Kyalami. Great footage and a real pleasure to watch.
There are several shots of Tom in his UOP Shadow and a shot in the paddock of his car with his name on the side. Thanks for your comments.
Seeing a number of my old Top Trumps cars in that footage. The Ferrari was the best weapon to have in one's hand. Lotus 72 not far behind and Brabham.
Can't be 1976, it's raining!
Exceptional footage, thank you very much for posting.
Wonderful memory to see that. I bought a Vancouver 27 around 1992 here in Vancouver, Canada. I also had the pleasure of having lunch with its designer, Robert Harris.
Many thanks for your comments. My wife and I visited Vancouver in 1996 for a two week holiday and to meet up with relatives who live on both Vancouver Island and Thetis Island. During the trip we met up with Bob Harris and his wife and went out for dinner with them - a really charming couple. We also fell in love with Vancouver!
Fantastic - Happy memories of being there
I think the only driver you didn't caught on film is Derek Bell with the Surtees. Apart from him you seem to have everyone. Even those who just appeared in this race during practice only and who can not be seen in any of the professional reviews. What a treasure! Thank you for sharing!
👍
Loved and shill loving it, the JPS colours.
Nice you have this, Brian. The SR71 Super Blackbird. amazing!
It's the 1974 ✅ Farnborough show. 1974 was the only show with the Galaxy and SR71. I did a little background research.
It's not 1976. I was at the 1976 Farnborough when I was 14 (and an Air Cadet). There was no Lockheed C5 Galaxy or SR71 - these appeared in earlier Farnborough shows, possibly 1972 or 1974. Highlights of 1976 Farnborough were the Grumman F14 Tomcat, McDonnell F15 Eagle (in American Bicentennial colours), Northrop YF17, McDonnell Douglas YC-15 and the Hawker Siddeley Hawk trainer.
Superb film footage 👍Thank you very much for sharing . I was there as a 12 year old kid , in the paddock with my Dad George . He spotted Jackie Stewart and I still have his autograph . 👍🏴🇬🇧🏁
I was there aged 16. I have a photo of Jacky Ickx and Mario Andretti in the Capri as they drove around for a victory lap. I had jumped the fence to take the picture. Never be allowed to do that now. I got a great shot with only a Mamiya rangefinder and 42mm lens so you can imagine how close I was to the car as it drove by. 😂
Superb ! I was lucky enough to have been at these events ------------ but please tell me the cine cameras that you used , --------- has to be Bolex ?????
Over a ten year period I had 3 Std 8 cine cameras - all Paillard Bolex, really great cameras
I have subscribed for more of your great content! Elmley was the first place I volunteered with the RSPB from 1985, so this brought back lots of memories. I saw my first little egret there on June 15 1985, it caused quite a stir at the time!
Stunning camerawork!
It's a triumph and I bow low. I hope they can sort out the air pump.
So many lovely clips and photos! 🦅 Greetings from a Swedish youtuber! 🇸🇪
When I did my A& B cert in 1950 at Castle Bromwich airfield in the ATC, i recall the Sedburg, (which I wondered if this was the T21) but the one i flew in had no individual windshields it was goggles all the way on a barrege baloon winch to 850ft.it had airbrakes on the wing upper surface as I recall
Great video. I felt like I was there. The restoration looks beautifully executed, especially the lining work, which caught my eye during the closeup stills near the end. And . . Atlantics are very cool.
Many thanks for your kind comments. I would just like to clarify, this is not a "restoration", it is very much a "new build/replica" making use of just a very few original spare parts and original drawings. Glad you enjoyed the video. I am looking forward to seeing Beachy Head enter service on the 23rd August.
I love how Beachy head despite being a replica still feels 1930s like originals 😃
I was at this race aged 11. Are you sure that the open seat race (I think its formula Atlantic btw) is not from one of the Thursday/Friday practice days? I seem to remember South bank was full of cars for the actual BOAC 500m and the later 1972 BOAC 1000km race
Really impressive of what you have in your country 👍👍👍
Many thanks Roy. Yes, we have a number of great preserved railways here in the UK which, I am pleased to say, bring a great deal of pleasure to the visitors, many of whom come from all over the world. My wife and i are both volunteers at the Bluebell Railway and really enjoy meeting many of the visitors. Keep up the great work on your videos, I really enjoy them and the memories they bring back.
what is the usual list when sailing?
Minimal.
@@SwanSycorax In 76 I was responsible for keeping SS Canberra upright. she would flop one degree either side of vertical.
I thought they were 'CARRIAGES' not cars, they are those road things that almost supplanted trains on railways.
Carriages or Cars, You can call them Either.
It'll be great to see ya hauling passengers 32424.. and I hope to be one of those passengers in the not too distant future
Halls, black fives, bulleids are wonderful. But, this is something DIFFERENT and equally wonderful.
My first meeting at Brands Hatch aged 11. Great to see this at 64!
That's a really top drawer presentation you've done. I loved the multi- angle work of 32424 making up its train. Nice work! 👍
When the "Passengers are requested to cross the line by the bridge" popped up, I tried to move it off my screen!🤣 Thank you for this, I'm hungry for anything I can see on 32424......
Jeez the nerve of some people?! I for one loved the video and I hope to see more like it!😃😃
Many thanks for your comments
The Alfa 33s are my favourite :) Lucky you for having seen all this and having been able to wander amongst legendary cars in the Paddock. Such informality is unthinkable now.
Now you have both 180 to 600 and hundred to 400. What would you prefer someone who is starting out on nature and wildlife photograph
my 100-400 when I bought the 180-600. I loved the 100-400 and wish I could have justified keeping both. Before I sold one and bought the other i had two opportunities to try both lenses back to back and was surprised to find the 180-600 was just as sharp as the 100-400 and when I added the 1.4xTC to the 100-400 the image was not as sharp as the 180-600. As the prime requirement for either of these lenses was wildlife it was a no-brainer as reach is, in my opinion, everything.
Yes it was cold, we couldn't get temp in the tires.
Iconic. Do you know which base the Spitfires came from?
I believe it is based at Goodwood.
I think I was there one year when Graham Hill was racing a formula 2 car don't know if it was the following year or not , I lived not far from Brands Hatch thanks for posting it brings back memories,great footage,cheers
First win for the 917
THANKS FOR PUTING THIS FILM ON U TUBE. WE RACE THESE FLY MODEL RACE CARS.
Nice that you have a lot of old trains and.... Still driving too. Pretty long train and full of people. A nice, Brian 👍
I went on Camalot last year ,it was 👍
Loved this video especially your cat stalking the fox, brilliant 👍🏻
