Wow Nice recovy
But what a lazy camera men did film the tank

I found this web site http://www.geocities.com/spoelstra.geo/m-h/tank.html
and is saying that the tanks were made Between 1935 and 1942

Not so much a lazy one - I think what you were looking at was the unedited footage, Normally the interview is done first, then overlay footage as they have done here. In the edit they take selected parts of the interview and overlay it with what the subject is speaking about. There may well be extra shots of the tank which are not on this clip.

hi gents

i have a good friend who lives out in newfoundland and is a collector. by all accounts, there is a treasure trove of stuff out there to be recovered. for several reasons, remoteness, topography, no local interest, ect, this stuff still exists. i suspect, we will be hearing of more newfoundland treasure hunts in the future.
