You are bidding for a video record of the long discarded 16mm film described below. When the film was made it provided a unique insight into its particular subject. Over the last thirty years a number of enthusiasts realised that such films provided an untapped source of information on past techniques and methods At some time in the past it would have been rescued after being discarded as obsolete by the original owners .

Any money raised from the sale of this video will go towards offsetting the costs of more rescues.

This DVD (185) recorded during a showing of the film described. They were made to demonstrate what could be done by a British Contacting firm Particularly significant if it was one of your relatives  that was on the job.   This is one of those films that show overseas projects 

 Oil Harbour Aden. Started in 1952 is a total barren  works with the first workers housed in the SS Dorsetshire. 

1500 native workers had to be recruited  from the villages. Had never seen the sea or  machinery.  2 million tons moved in the first year. With dredged sand to make more dry land. Dust storms  and relaxing after a hard  days work.  The various piles were then driven  concrete was transported by monorail  and transit mixers.

The Queen and Price Philip came to have look in 1954. Wimpy  certainly got on with the job  and they had an excellent final result.

Technical Note. This is a DVD record of a private screening. Transfer quality is to enable the contents to be studied rather than to achieve the high standard achieved by professional broadcast and commercial video publishers

However this does mean that you if you are the successful bidder I will prepare your copy and send it to you BEFORE expecting you to pay. Assuming you are find it proves to be what you expected from the description all I ask is that you pay preferably by PayPal within SEVEN DAYS of the DVD reaching you.I can make this offer because so far with few exceptions everybody who has purchased a DVD this way has been fascinated by the contents of the video they selected and only too happy to pay.

To my mind that seems a very fair way to work for both parties.
