George's narration was recorded by Fred Whyatt in 1996 and recently came to light. I've synchronised the recording to the film here.

A wonderful film of a memorable trip! Mr. Wain's narration adds a whole new dimension. Thanks for posting, and thanks to Mr. Whyatt too.

@robertwmartens You can see Mr Fred Whyatt as a boy at the school, on George's Hyde Grammar School Football Team film. He's the one attempting a goal at the beginning of the film, and rubbing his face and smiling at the very end. Fred returned to the school some years later as a teacher, and was my sports master. He is 80 next month (March 2010).
