    Brings back memories from the early 1990's going to my Grandparents Caravan with the beach not far.
    There was a pub on the caravan site where all the old timers would puff on their pipes, drink pints and listen to classics on the jukebox.
    Also there was an arcade next door where all the kids would play games and play pool. I miss those days and I miss you, Grandad.

    Mom and Pops bought a brand new crank-up/pop-up Coleman camper in about 1968 Towed it behind a 1963 Volkswagon Squareback that was brought back from a Munich showroom via the US Army.
    We froze to death in that crank-up camper. Pops had enough hassle within 2 summers and it was sold.
    1970 Ford 4x4 and a new 1971 Silver Streak Camper after that. The Silver Streak was Shangri-la compared to the Coleman. Watched the last Apollo launch from the top of that Silver Streak as a kid in 1972

    The narrator is Wilfrid Thomas. Well known in Australia as a singer, actor, radio broadcaster and narrator. Wilfrid was of Welsh descent who immigrated to Australia as a child. He narrated several Australian government films and can be seen in a film from the NFSA collection acting along side Peter Finch in These Stars Are Mine
    His "posh" accent would have certainly been a consideration when he got the gig of narrating the official film of the Queen's 1954 visit to Australia. Queen In Australia also at the NFSA.
    And just from the other day on the NFSA channel "Canberra Today And Tomorrow" which had me searching for who it was.
    Searching for Wilfrid Thomas will show some of his recordings.
    It would be interesting to know how many other Pathe newsreels he narrated and did he travel to the UK for the narration or just send a tape recorded in Australia?

And I know of a couple of houses, one in Acton, London W12, the other in Hammersmith, W.6 London. that sold for £17,000 each in the late 1970s and are now worth £1.5m to £2.5m.

    Perhaps things changed by the time I was on the planet, but as a nipper in the 70's, the caravan parks my parents took me too were a far cry from this rose tinted wonderment.
    Wales in the rain, parked up in a caravan park backing onto a quarry, black and white telly with a single channel available, in Welsh.
    When it rains, the only thing for kids to do is play card games, whine and get a clip around the ear.
    For the adults, drink more booze.

      Definitely rose tinted in this footage. I grew up in the 70's and often stayed at various holiday parks including Butlins/Pontins around the country. We had fun but the places were either often damp when it rained or boiling when it was hot. Everything stunk of cigs and tinged nicotine yellow. Food was dire. It was affordable though to most. Distinct lack of brown people so I think that's the major nostalgia selling point for people.

  • @jcs3330
    @jcs3330 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Wow!...how nostalgic and what great memories. Yes todays caravans have come a long way, but my first memories of staying in one was that in the last clip of this video (being rolled onto the ship) . My mother used to take me to Pipers site in Dymchurch and the caravans then were the round roof type, and small in length. It no mains running water, or toilet in, you filled a large plastic water carrier that stood under the caravan which you put the pipe into, which was attached to the pump action sink tap. There were toilet/wash blocks over the camp.
    I remember the old double bikes that 3/4 of us could sit-on the long seat bench ...but only one of us could steer it!
    I also remember that the caravans had wall fitted gas lamps that you lit for evening light and a gas bottled gas fire. In later years we changed camps for what was then known has New Beach Holiday camp which had the more modern all mains supplied service cavavans (they also had the cedar type chalets...although they cost more to rent, they had nothing on a 6 berth caravan!) and the family continued our summer holidays there for many years up until the late 80's.
    In later years the father who had owned and run it very successfully for decades, handed the business over to his son , and in later years he sold it to a multi-national holiday company. (think Hoseasons??) But yes many, many happy years of a happy childhood holidaying in caravans at New Beach Dymchurch .

      It's one item from a film made up of several. The narrator is reading the link to the next one when it ends. No doubt it will be elsewhere on the channel. It sounds like it is a feature on a faster mode of transport.

      It's a short newsreel feature film shown, along with the ad films, in cinemas during the intermission between the main feature films.

    3:00 Those walls look dainty enough; the studs look smaller than 2 X 3s (50 X 75), but not square like 2 X 2s. I know 2 x 2s were allowed in the USA during the 1960s, but those trailers would blow apart in a strong hurricane, so the FHA established a 2 X 3 minimum to get a federally insured mortgage in 1976. Now, states like Florida require extra bracing, tie-downs and heavier external sheathing in storm-prone areas and even using 2 X 3s, and these buildings can survive 145 MPH winds. The glue that they use to put these things together also helps a lot. I'll bet the caravans they make now for the UK and Australia are also built to higher standards these days.

      It's mainly down to diet. The crap my young colleagues eat is staggering. I make all my own food from real ingredients but all they guzzle is coca cola, McDonald's burgers, friend chicken, microwave meals, crisps and all the other junk that comes wrapped in plastic. They genuinely believe that's food and I'm a crank because I only eat food I've prepared myself.

    Does anyone know the name of this narrator? He is brilliant!!

    • @johnd8892
      @johnd8892 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The narrator is Wilfrid Thomas. A well known in Australia singer, actor, radio broadcaster and narrator of Welsh descent who immigrated to Australia as a child. He narrated several Australian government films and can be seen in this film from the NFSA collection one acting along side Peter Finch in These Stars Are Mine
      His "posh" accent would have certainly been a consideration when he got the gig of narrating the official film of the Queen's 1954 visit to Australia. Queen In Australia also at the NFSA.
      And just from the other day on the NFSA channel "Canberra Today And Tomorrow" which had me searching for who it was.
      Searching for Wilfrid Thomas will show some of his recordings.
      It would be interesting to know how many other Pathe newsreels he narrated and did he travel to the UK for the narration or just send a tape recorded in Australia?
