Retired Firefighter Ramsay Rhodes celebrates his 100th Birthday
About Ramsay Rhodes
I’d served in the Royal Navy during the war on submarine support ship HMS Maidstone. We had spent over 2 years away visiting Ceylon, Australia, South Africa and the Philippines amongst others and we’d played our part at the liberation of Hong Kong.
On leaving the navy it was hard to find a job because all the men who’s been in the services were now home and either returning to the jobs they had left before the war or looking for work. The women who had taken over the mens jobs during wartime were expected to go home and look after the returning heroes. This caused some upset in some cases as the women were now used to earning their own money and being independent.

On a less unfortunate note your garden is so beautiful 😭 like rip frog but its a good place to go
Incredible footage! Thanx for sharing.
I've never been to shobdon before, it does seem like a nice airfield to visit
It was the first time for me. It was pretty quiet but it might have been because it was a Bank Holiday. The guys from the gliding club were very friendly and a chap in the hanger rebuilding a plane. The have a decent size cafe/restaurant. I only had a cup of tea before I left but when I first arrived at the airfield a chap was going in and told me they do a great breakfast.
@@plasticpaddy198 I've done some research on the airfield before and the cafe is called Meg's cafe. Never seen what it looks like on the inside but definitely seems worth a visit. It is also usually busy in terms of flying most days too
Good to see the area is still very liveable .I worked at Abbey Rd Infants School in the 1950s
Due to subsidence the church opposite Abbey Rd school was demolished and a smaller church replaced it.
@@plasticpaddy198 Thank you for your reply .Mary Jackson
@@maryjackson4857 Hi, I lived in Park Rd and my children went to the Abbey schools. Yesterday I came across a cutting from the paper with a photo about Miss Oakley retiring after 30 years.
My only winter ride out, glad we had the sunshine for it 👍
It was decent weather and you attracted a large number of riders. I bet the kids enjoyed the toys.
@@plasticpaddy198 Big shout out to the organisers and Streetbike who deliver the toys plus anyone who drops money into the Ronald McDonald House boxes at MacDonald's restaurants and drive through as that's where the parents get to stay close to their children next to the hospital. ❤
🥰 wonderful 🎶🎸
look im coming over
It is a pity that more British vehicles were not taking part but it is good to see these and well done to the owners for keeping them in such good condition.
RIP GZEBY😢
Did this plane crash or just taken out of service?
@@plasticpaddy198 Unfortunately it was Write off
@@alihassnain9163 Thank you for the information.
Cool little aircraft. Very short T/O roll.
Thanks for your comments, I love filming but I don't know much about the things I film so it is nice when people point out items in the videos.
Nice plane! Thanks for the video.
3:18 WILL YOU STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR WHISTLE RALPH
I love the sound of a steam engine whistle.
I want to see thuree road

Do you still live there?

Good on yer😄 Beautiful Bewdley, I hope to come to next year Duck Race 2024.
Drove up & filmed past my home . I can well remember Hagley Road looking like that . Good video that .
I only went out to see if I could get some good snow scenes on the Dashcam. It looks magical when there has not been many cars about. Thanks for your comment.

Is there a car stop marker?
Hi, I have no idea. I was visiting the area and only had a few minutes to spare.
@@plasticpaddy198 i think i saw one mid-video

Great shoot, too many yanky dandies for me. Love the heavy old champ keep 😀😀
Hi, it would have been nice to see more British vehicles but I just like the fact that so many vehicles turned up and the dedication of the owners to keep them running. I was surprised to see so many. Well done to the organisers.
That is really beautiful, I live near the woods. The music is perfect, what is the title of the music. Thank you for putting this on RUclips.
Hi Jean, thank you for your comments, the title is in the description below but I pay a subscription to an American company to use their music so it is not readily available.
Thank you for filming us. This song is by Anne Lister (not the one in the TV program).

that's the school I go
This is so cool!

That's our aircraft, not sure who is flying it. Wolverhampton Flight Training. It's Sunday, might be Ben S. Will have to show him.
Didnt know they did any Air Alderney flights from Brighton
Hi James, these flights were pleasure flights lasting about 30 minutes, out over the sea and back inland. I don't know if they are running scheduled flights from there.
This isn’t Aurigny its a different airline create recently in Alderney
@@DryMicrophone sorry I got it mixed up
Many thanks for filming us, excellent angle and video. We really enjoyed performing, thank for having us and to all that watched our set. Cheers MF
I saw that helicopter buzzing my area saturday, i was wondering why it was only in the air for a short time and then immediately landed at Wolverhampton racecourse, (which is close to where i live) and then shortly after it landed, I heard a rumble of thunder, which im guessing it explained the reason as to why the display was so lackluster
Hi James, I was talking to the leader of the parachutists about 30 minutes before the planned jump and he explained that the wind was gusting too much and they would not be able to land safely. Several planned flybys at Himley Hall and elsewhere were also cancelled because the planes could not get off the ground due to the winds.
@@johnharvey8297 thats a real shame indeed
@@jameshardie9914 I was looking forward to the parachutists.
@@johnharvey8297 yeah same i was also going to catch it on camera, i was expecting to climb higher and let the parachutists jump out but this time it just stayed low down then landed at the racecourse almost immediately. I still did get a shot of it with the smoke on with my camera moments before it landed though
It’s a big engine with a tiny airplane bolted onto it.
the tower contains a ring of 8 bells the tenor weighing 12-3-24cwts and tuned to F#
Hey that's me! Nice one.
Cheers James, I might have held the camera steady if it had been a warmer day.
I’ve seen the tram stop too They kinda look like the new small heath bus stop
Thank you for uploading this.
Great stuff!
Fantastic!
Loved these guys. Great energy
Man Made Hell were great at 45 Live
Ace video!
Nice looking aircraft. What scale ratio is it?
I have seen comments online, some say 50 percent and some 60 percent. In a comment below from from Chris Sims, he has one so he may be able to give an exact answer.
Love the grass section down the slope by Snow hill station.
Notice the last 4 stops there is no overhead wires the tram runs on batteries for this short distance.
PlasticPaddyy! really well ~))
A beautiful town , I am glad to call my home . Love my Halesowen . My favourite place on earth .
Hi Graham, I have to agree with you.
This most certainly is not the Birmingham I grew up in. The change is impressive and well needed. I would be lost if I were ever to visit. Talk about needing a map. I love the changes - most definitely progress
I drive into Birmingham 3 or 4 times a year and you have to keep a good lookout at the signs because they keep closing roads and changing the routes that I'm used to..
