Brilliant find that Peter.
I think I see the Leason hand on that van.

Hi
What an interesting little film of the era.
Car spotters paradise, I don't think there were 2 vans the same, there was at least one motorhome conversion af a van, the paddle steamer was probably doing coast runs from either Bridlington or Hornsea or possibly between the two.
I think the plane was a Spitfire and the helicopter a Sycamore and could those yellow dinghies particularly the ovalish one have been WD surplus?

What a wonderful film, certainly shows what a differtime we live in now. Can you inmagine the fit a health and saftey officer or the council offical or the police would have today of a group of holiday makers pulled up next to the cliff by the beach.

Also always very poignant to see these old films. The people in this must nearly all be dead and even the children must be in their early seventies or late eighties by now.

Lots of LOVELY caravans, mostly home made by the look of it, although I did see a Rollalong, a very early Carlight, a Rivers ( maybe a Danube model ), The caravan the gentleman made looks like a copy of a Soralong.

What a lovely film......it seems life was more relaxed and civilised in those days.
...although maybe it didn't seem like it at the time perhaps? Smile

Fanatastic !! The paddle steamer "The Frenchman" out of Bridlington.

The area is perhaps better known today as Skipsea. A very short glimpse of the WWII beach defenses. Erosion has taken much of the land away. What is very striking, is the absence of leisure wear. I have photos of my Dad on the beach with shirt, tie etc.

Thanks for sharing.

Now to look at the pre-war one.

They are all tiny villages on the east coast. Atwick, Skipsea, Ulrome, Barmston, and Fraisthorpe, not necessarily in that order.

We enjoyed looking at the way the adults were dressed on the beach.
