Flying For Fun - An Affair With An Aeroplane - 1987 BBC TV

This is the BBC TV dramatisation of Jack Parham's eponymous book, with G-AEFT playing the role of G-ABHE. I saw it in 1987 and it started a lifelong admiration for these delightful aeroplanes. In 2012 I uploaded the film onto UA-cam, in ten parts. I decided it was time to upload it again, in the original 40 minute format. I'm sorry the picture content isn't brilliant but I'll be uploading quite a lot more Aeronca stuff in the near future and wanted to tell the story from the beginning. It's taken from a video tape that a friend copied for me 30+ years ago; it was well played! The film is missing the first few seconds, just before the opening titles.
