I notice Derann sell this short but can anybody tell me where it comes from. Was this a British Transport Film or similar, and is this cut down from a longer film under a different title. A quick search in Google reveals nothing. [Roll Eyes]

Thanks Graham, I forgot to check that for this film even though I use it often. Usually on these shorts I first check YouTube then I look at BTF home page and Pathe (if I know its a pathe pictorial ect.). Also IMDB is useful too. She flies is another one of those travel shorts on my "wanted but not quite yet" list as I have used up this months budget buying other films and bills! [Frown]

Derek Simmonds cut this down himself from a half hour 16mm master. The print quality is very, very good. A wonderful release.

I've always been interested in this film, but I've heard that some people have seen problems with print sharpness and frame movement.

Does this apply to all of them?

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...
