Clips of the matchbox factory there are some interesting films from the 50s, 60s, 70s. showing what life was like when we were all happy Pete

Just buy all his models, it will be much cheaper and safer than building a time machine.

Yes Alex, it is wonderful looking back at stuff like this and I only wish more of it could be found. This is the first colour film I've seen taken inside Lesney and was probably made for training purposes to be shown in other factories as opposed to being broadcast on TV, because I spotted a few 'Set-Up' scenes which you don't get with real-time filming.

It originally came from the Pathe film archive site and if one was registered on that site, there may be others to be found, but I am not registered there, having got this from another source...

It certainly would be great to find some more rare Factory footage. I wonder how many forgotten recordings there are out there.
