1943 film from the British film council. Propaganda but very interesting none the less.

Do you think those cloth caps are auto-inflaters?

Used to wear Dutch clogs whilst working on a small coaster.....kept feet nice and warm ,easy to slip off and resistant against falling objects.

Thanks for posting that.

I love the presenter's accent, the yard foreman's was even more hilarious.

To quote Jack Lemmon in Some like it hot....."Nobody talks like that".

If you check the names, a lot of these producers and narrators went on to have very successful careers in the film industry.

If you look closely, I think the first cloth cap wearer (rowing) is Nigel F. Mind you, I don’t reckon you’ll ever see JRM wearing a cloth cap.

Only on Hallowe’en. When everyone else dresses up as him.

I think you'll probably find that it was Paul Nuttall who organized Operation Dynamo, not Admiral Bertram Ramsay, and what's more, he rowed over himself and rescued most to the men off the beaches.
