    Yesterday, I visited our local Street Life museum here in Hull and stumbled across this mock frontage of a vintage cinema, together with a list of films "currently playing."

    If this had been for real, it would have been quite a handy venue, as the local tram stops just outside!

    Nevertheless, Doug, it was a meeting of like minded people who live so far away from each other who are prepared to meet up given the opportunity.
    I am always amazed at the people from the various countries that turn up at Blackpool every year. I've met Shorty on several occasions,(hopefully meeting you eventually, on either side of the pond), Eivind from Norway, Oliver and Joachim from Germany to give a few examples. Without the forum I doubt that would ever happen, remembering the wilderness years between the mass market demise of super 8 / the onslaught of video, to joining the forum. I really believed then that I would be in a one man hobby for the rest of my life. Then for the right reasons, joining the forum blew that out of the water!

    Melvin,

    I suspect that Shorty and I weren't the main attractions on Ken's visit but it is always great fun meeting other collectors. Ken might make the trip to CineSea in the near future!

    This completely demonstrates the great comradeship that exists in our wonderful hobby. Ken will have travelled even further to be in New York (assuming that is where you all are) from San Francisco than I would need to travel right now located on the east coast of England!

    Forum member Ken Souza came in from San Fransisco. He, Shorty Caruso and I got together for breakfast and a screening. A perfect way to spend a Sunday!

    Well I came across these below still photos last night on the internet and boy did it give me a jolt to the past of me at the aero club from 1976 to 1986 and the people I once worked with. I have no idea who took it, but it was around the mid-eighties. Looking directly at the photo I am on the far left. The chief engineer is the one in the middle, and he was the one that got me involved in Super 8 in the first place. All up I think we looked after around 19 aircraft. In the photo there were just four of us full time, it certainly brought back memories of those times now long gone, sadly as well as some folk also featured in this photo.

    And with that was the first short Super 8 film I took back in the late 1970s which I will add here as well.

    Its summer here at the moment and it reminded me of these few photos we taken a few years back, on a drive up the Port Hills with Sumner and the city in the background. The road round the summit is not much wider than single track, but has great views, an ideal drive on a summers day.

    Sumner that's where the Hollywood cinema was situated one of our favorite cinemas to go to.

    O-KAYYY!!!!

    I used the thing!

    I'm wet, my feet are cold, and I have the slightest scent of snowblower exhaust about me!
    (I'd say we are running a little-bit rich today! -but did they really need to point the exhaust backwards?!)

    Spring is 35 days away!

    (-more than enough!)

    Ah, Yes!

    Two boilers and two fireboxes!

    It somehow reminds me of those „Double Fairlie locomotives“.

    Funny!

    -that’s exactly what I was thinking when I shot the picture!

    Steve, that's very reminiscent of the Pushmi-Pullyu from Dr. Dolittle.

    -something's telling me United Parcel Service isn't having a good day today. (-at least locally!)

    Do you think they have a brown tow-truck somewhere?

    Today, Well I have been looking forward to picking up this one for a while now, this week it happened da da spent this afternoon on it, nice Scope print, just about ready for the platter hoping to screen it very soon, starring Tim Allen and John Travolta, one of my favorite, and I should say, it was a very popular regular Saturday night screening at the cinema, we ran this one for almost 5 months, so I am over the moon to be able to project it once again on 35mm
