I think we had a thread on this subject on the old site, but I'll start things off with an obscure film from, I think, the late 1960s, about the German occupation of Denmark, called The Only Way. Yes, really, in one of the opening scenes is a Danish-registered RM saloon!

I've just watched a 1942 film 'Went the day well 'it's about a little village overrun by Nazis in disguise, but there's a lovely 1932 RN bombing around in it ( tried to upload a photo but failed miserably )
i sent an early Australian exploration film, containing Austin footage, over to the association via dropbox some time ago and have not heard if it was received. If not I will ask my younger relatives how to try again.
Sorry Russell, I’ve looked back and we did receive the film (via a Dropbox link) in October 2018. I’ve now copied it into my own Dropbox files and will look to publish it (if that is ok) with some other films we have recently unearthed in the Archive and have digitised..
Thanks Hugh, good footage to publish. I shall be seeing Anna today and will ask her what progress there is on the Barry Argent set. I suspect she has finished digitising and massaging the print quality. Last I heard she had questions re publishing? regards Russell

I think we have had a similar thread on this forum; and I believe it was Bill Sheehan who proposed by far the best film I've seen for A7 footage as well as for general contemporary London traffic - 'Jack's the Boy' (1932). It's also a bit of a laugh. Though yes I'd agree 'Went the Day Well' is also good.
