419 forum posts 11 photos	Did anyone catch the programme on Channel 5 this evening showing old cine film - much of it in tremendous colour - made during the VE Day celebtrations? There were two or three bits of footage of what looked like 5 inch raised track (could have been 3 1/2", not sure). I think the photographer had come from Kings Langley where most of the rest of his film was made. Did anyone recognise where the track might have been? It's such a rarey filmed subject, it was great to see. Edited By Diane Carney on 03/05/2020 00:06:54
