Talking 30 second film of Air France Super Connie in 1962

At this link: YouTube - Air France Super Constellation at La Baule, France, September 4th 1962

This sequence shows passengers (including myself, aged 4) boarding an Air France Super Connie at La Baule on 4th September 1962. The aircraft then taxies out and takes off. It was shot by my late father on 4th September 1962-I know that date because he very helpfully wrote it on the film packet-on his 8mm cine-camera (sorry, no sound). Hope people like it-there ain't too much film of propliners from this sort of date. Aircraft is F-BHBF: I know that because the original film version picture is quite a bit wider.
