We got quite a lot done today and that included getting a lot more detail with our guide done for the February Bangladesh trip which also takes in Dubai and finishes at Calcutta, I fully intend to get some truck film out of the trip as best i can. Then tomorrow evening we are out at a Halle concert in Manchester and then that's the week gone as I've just been checking in for the flights to and from Malta which i leave for on Friday afternoon. Busy too at work proper and still plenty to do tomorrow. The next week I get back to work Wednesday and have a conference after college apprentice reviews so a bit of a short week in the office. It's bonfire night, can't believe after all the displays around here last weekend anyone has fireworks left, a lot of money going up in smoke there. Times then is short so I leave you with a few Yorkshire Shots .
Many people have constantly badgered me into doing another volume in our regional archive series featuring Yorkshire, this has been divided with the first volume concentrating on West Yorkshire although as the Ridings and boundaries and local government changes have happened so much has changed with the bus services that it's quite hard to know what to put in and leave out. As we have oodles of South Yorkshire material mainly centered on Sheffield I suppose we could let some places like Selby into this volume, I'll just have to see how the editing process goes on. There are some wonderful scenes taking us from way back before the war in Huddersfield through the Bradford trolley jubillee of 1960 and then the phasing out of trolleybuses, the RTs of Bradford, Leeds and the PTE and other proud companies municipal, independent and groups. What wonderful days these were and it is a pleasure to relish them all in detail sometimes almost frame by frame trying to squeeze as much footage as possible into a state worthy of viewing, whatever happens it will be a whole lot better than the videos we once produced where they were third generation copies and no computer editing to compensate the exposures, saturation and sharpness. I've also been digressing into watching adjacent material and look forwards to another archive on the East Midlands some time as well as the South Midlands. I think there is also another Scottish one due some time but I've lost track a bit. I've quite a few tapes which have been copied off cine which aren't on the database another job that really needs some attention from me just to fill in any spare moments I might have.
