- A look at life in the '60s with this compilation of six shorts made by Rank in the Look at Life film series. Presented by Rob Curling from Brooklands Aircraft musuem, we are treated to such gems as AIR HOSTESS all about an early trolley dolly working out of a very unhurried London Airport (Heathrow). CONTROLLED LANDING takes us inside the valve-driven control tower at Heathrow while a Comet 4 is talked down in fog (well that is what it purports to do). CITY OF THE AIR is all about the everyday operations of early Heathrow. FLYING TO WORK looks at individuals taking to the skies to travel to work in their own aricraft (fixed and rotary wing). THE SPIRIT OF BROOKLANDS looks at the Vickers aircraft factory which produced amongst others the VC10 ariliner. Finally, no compilation would be complete without a look at Farnborough and FIlton. THE BIG TAKE OFF looks at all sorts of aircraft including the "140 seat Concorde". Amazing stuff and all 100% colour cinema quality film originals. DVD price? Just £10. There is also the Military Aviation version from RAF Hendon museum. To buy either, or both, log onto Video125.co.uk or tel 01344 628565.

Seeing this Look at Life clip makes me feel old. It starts by showing a now retired Viscount that belonged to British Air Ferries. I worked in the maintenance hangar of BAF for 12 years and that now seems a long time ago. It's a pity the film makers didn't put the correct sound to the Viscount's engine start up. What you heard was a piston engine and not the unmistakable sound of a Rolls Royce Dart. That's my. "Anorak " fact of the day for you.
This looks fantastic, I’m going to order
"BACK IN MY DAY THE REMOTES WERE BIGGER THAN THE TV!"
liked their uniforms ❤️
Those where the days befor ryain air spoilt the luxury of flying.
Thanks, I have ordered a copy!
ISuperb footage, I love those BEA 4 windscreen coaches, AEC Regals? Have flown on Viscounts, Comets and Super VC 10s, and the footage of London Airport brings back memories. As a boy I had already flown on several 707s and DC 8s then had my first flight on a Super VC 10. It was like going from a farm wagon to a Bentley. Will get this DVD!
Yes, previews show excerpts from the DVDs.
Yes, at just £10 it is great value and well recommended. You can order on line at video125.co.uk
4:55 It's Tracey Ullman!
"I'm so worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow"
It is most probably because the system is as old as the film. Heathrow is one big muddle. Patched to gather over time.
Cheers! Is all the footage in this YT video in the DVD? I presume it is!
you can get a discount on a viscount
Other Chocolate biscuits are available 😂
I couldn't be bothered.
Such obvious propaganda...Lol
