Hi All,
As some of you are allready aware I'm in the process of putting together Clyde Model Boats first full kit - Paddle Steamer Juno... not an easy task i can asssure you and my main excuse for not contributing much of late ( i have other excuses if needed lol )...
Anyway, In my research i came across two really nice bits of footage ... so if you have a spare half hour here are the links -
Film 1 -
http://scotlandonscreen.org.uk/database/record.php?usi=007-000-002-013-C
Highlights include -
Juno
A (Denny's ?) Torpedo destroyer
A couple of long lost Clyde piers.
Film 2 -
http://scotlandonscreen.org.uk/database/record.php?usi=007-000-002-013-C
This one is loaded with goodies -
From Traction engines, Narrow gauge railways to puffers being launched-
and a great shot of Queen Mary (before giving her name up) sweeping away from a pier.
Oh yes there are a couple of paddlers too...
Enjoy....
Regards,
Kim
