It was nice to hear the engines. Thanks for not playing any goofy music over the roar.

any more where that came from?

[doublevisionSS36]

Thank you so much. Brought a tear to my eye with happy memories of watching them in the solent in my youth with dreams of one day doing the same thing. Maybe in the next life?

How fabulous, thanks for the memories....wow, indeed, the 'good old days' of Yellowdrama, Unowot, Gina Campbell and Lady Fiona........what fun it all was.

Thanks

Great upload.

Any idea what year it's from?

it could be Cannes 1972. n.18 was Bobby Rautbord (world champion that year ) and n.9 Carlo Bonomi, who became world champion the year after. Good old times.
