• Glasgows Trams & Trolleybuses | DVD | (28/04/2008) from £9.70   |  Saving you £0.29 (2.90%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Glasgow had one of the largest tramway systems in Britain part of which survived into the 1960s. For decades the sight of the city's colourful trams stately as galleons gently swaying through its streets was as much a part of the heart and soul of Glasgow as was the forest of cranes alongside the Clyde. As motor traffic began to proliferate after the war the trams were seen to be part of the reason for the growing congestion in the city. New electric trolleybuses were introduced to replace them on some routes before both they and the last of the trams were swept away in the 1960s with the final triumph of the motor car. These films made mostly in the 1950s and '60s are packed with memories of that era. They recall the fashions the shop fronts the cars the street-scapes the factories and the suburbs of a city which has changed radically in the years which have followed. Produced for those who know and love Glasgow as much as the transport enthusiast this programme will open the eyes of those who remember the city in those halcyon post war decades.

  The Black Arrows a name that conjures up the peacetime drama and excitement of the Royal Air Force. Prior to 1955 the RAF did not have an official aerobatics team at all - air shows were left to local commanders to organise whatever displays they could. In 1955 54 Squadron flew a formation of four brand new Hawker Hunter aircraft. In 1956 the team dressed in black flying suits called themselves The Black Knights. Later that year 111 or Treble One Squadron provided the first official RAF display team and the aircraft were all painted black. After a performance in France they were applauded as Les Fleches Noir the name stuck and was translated as The Black Arrows. Initially the Black Arrows were five Hunters and by 1957 the team increased to a nine ship formation looping and rolling in glorious unison. Each season new manoeuvres and stunning formations including the Bomb Burst were added to excite the crowds even more. At the 1958 Farnborough Air Show the Black Arrows stunned the world with a record breaking loop and barrel roll using no less than twenty-two Hunters which was and is the greatest number of aircraft ever looped in formation. Strike Force Entertainment bring you the most comprehensive film history of the award winning Black Arrows from the teams inception to its finale in 1961 when the squadron was re-equipped with the English Electric Lightning. Later in the decade the Red Arrows were born and continued where The Black Arrows left off.
