Very good Rich, some interesting views there. Have you seen this: http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk They keep adding more batches of old images every now and then. |

It is interesting to look at this old film stuff to see how far we have come with digital. The colour film of the past was only really sharp in its last years of common use. In the 1990s when they managed to get very small silver particles and so could produce sharp almost grainless images. I havent used colour film since I got my Nikon D1 in November 1999. |

Thanks Rich My grandparents lived and worked in London during this period so it was especially interesting to see. Apart from the personal interest, I was also taken by three things... 1. The lack of litter on the roads 2. The impressively stable camerawork 3. That England beat the aussies at cricket ....those were the days.  |

I was trying to decide what vehicle was being used to transport him. It looked remarkable smooth for the primitive suspension on old cars .... or horse and carts. The track down Petticoat Lane through the crowds was very smoth...could it have been a car? |

Quite a few seem to be at the same level as the upper decks of double deckers. Perhaps he was at the front on the upper deck of an open top omnibus? Due to their mass they would probably be relatively smooth ride, although I din't notice the sway effect often associated with upper deck travel. |
