- My late father Jeff Theobald had a keen interest in WW2 military vehicles and saved many of them from farmers around the Exeter / Devon area and from the scrap pile in the 1960's and 1970's.
Before my father sadly passed away in October 2010 he transferred most of his 8mm cine film to a digital format and added period music and uploaded them to Vimeo. Sadly over the years these have vanished from Vimeo and as i didn't have access to my fathers Vimeo account we all thought they were lost to history.
Thankfully a friend of mine backed up load of old hard drives from Jeff's old computers and we have rediscovered his videos.
I will upload all eight of his videos for you all to enjoy.
Please forgive moments where the film has deteriorated and my fathers fascination for close ups of rotating wheels in mud :-)
I think you'll all agree as well as many fascinating vehicles these videos are a real snap shot of life in the 1970's.
My father moved his collection later on to The Warnham War Museum and surrounding areas in the late 70's early 80's.
