Worth watching for Jenny Agutter, although it is one of the few films she doesn't get her kit off

We first visited Norderney in 1990 and left the boat there for a month. Our return by ferry and train was just as described in the book, and I'm not sure that the timetable wasn't the same too.

I don't think I've ever seen it, but isn't there a bit where she waves a pair of red knickers (my sister used to call hers "pinkers" because they weren't bluemers). But I don't suppose removing them was done as a striptease...

Anyone who has seen the film, I assume. I expect hers were bigger than the other children's...

Am I correct in thinking that they have cut a number of scenes out of the film?- presumably to shorten it to fit the time table.
The film is slightly different to the book & also different to the audio book, which is not quite the same as the book I suspect.

Goodness me! Seems folk on here are more interested in knickers than boats.

Reading Wikipedia I gather the flags were red petticoats not knickers so a bit of a deviation...

“If we only had something red,” Peter repeated, “we could go round the corner and wave to the train.”
“We might wave, anyway.”
“They'd only think it was just US, as usual. We've waved so often before. Anyway, let's get down.”
They got down the steep stairs. Bobbie was pale and shivering. Peter's face looked thinner than usual. Phyllis was red-faced and damp with anxiety.
“Oh, how hot I am!” she said; “and I thought it was going to be cold; I wish we hadn't put on our—” she stopped short, and then ended in quite a different tone—“our flannel petticoats.”
Bobbie turned at the bottom of the stairs.
“Oh, yes,” she cried; “THEY'RE red! Let's take them off.”
