Title: Series 2s in Film
Post by: A-Ro on April 29, 2021, 07:53:17 PM: Is there a separate thread for these?

I’m watching an American film called Walking Out, nothing to write home about but there is a nice LHD Series 2 or 2a. Lights in the grille and individual wiper motors, I haven’t seen much detail but there are plenty of shots from behind.

I’ve just watched it and noticed the 2a has a Series 2 Club brass radiator badge.

Post by: diffwhine on May 19, 2021, 10:55:53 PM: Boko Haram are an Islamic militant group operating mainly in the region in and around Northern Nigeria. Similar ethos to IS... They are the ones who keep attacking school and kidnapping schoolgirls from boarding schools. Not nice guys...

Post by: Davidss on May 20, 2021, 07:34:06 AM: I was watching a repeat of Heir Hunters yesterday.
As they sometimes do they showed Archive film to show the sort of life the deceased would have experienced.
This archive was of National Service in the Aden Protectorate (the deceased was there for most of his 2 years NS). There were some good shots of Series vehicles in the background.

Nowadays UK people are being vilified for its 'adventures' outside the UK.
I am making no statement about any rights and wrongs, apart from 'that was then, this is now'.
