Flying Out of London in the Rain is a song from Tom Stevens' album Home.
Tom's first music video rejects the mold of big-budget corporate music videos exploiting lip-syncing artists and the latest CGI effects. Instead, Stevens has plundered the public domain films of archive.org and his own massive video collection for the footage contained here. The result is an unusual collage featuring post-war Heathrow airport clips, mid-50s Pan Am promotional footage and glimpses of 60s teenage hysteria to enhance the song's content.
chilled out music, and pleasant viewing cheers

Very effective use of the old footage - especially the black and white film clips. Goes well with the moody feel of the song.
