Sav,

Amazing Video! Great to see actual film of APTE from the time and to see how the people lived. Thanks for putting the word out on info on her, looking forward to what else might come back from everyone.

I haven’t seen "The Guard" yet, heard its top notch, though as I now live in London I was surprised to see a giant Irish Garda uniform as I rounded the corner in the tube station

As for pix of Widgeons, here’s a few I dug up, including one on floats. Plus Norman Parkinsons iconic fashion photography featuring G-APTW over Paris in 1960. Plus Ferrantis G-APVD when she was new in 1959 and a private Dragonfly plus a couple more-enjoy.

P.S I would like to reiterate Savs encouragement to all in terms of posting, more the merrier I reckon (hoping this older stuff isn’t too distant to be interesting)

Anyone know the pilot here? Wonder how comfortable or uncomfortable this young lady is!
