4,500 miles away and 52 years later...

Yoggi Berra, a famous US New York baseball player once said "It's deja vu all over again".

In 1975, we had our "Honeymoon" and went to the UK, Belgium, and West Germany. While in London I wanted to stop by a model boat event (listed in Model Boats) in Walpole Park. I took photos of the boats and some RC tanks that were there. Now that I also have RC tanks (about 8 years now), I posted some of the photos of the tanks on a RC Tanks web site. (RC Tanks were very rare back then as production started about that time.)

Now 4,500 miles away and 52 years later, someone was able to connect the early RC tanks in the UK to my photos back to a video (film back then) made just two months prior to our visit. Most of the time I don't get British humor, but this BBC production got us laughing as well as enjoying the memories. Also, those faces in the BBC clip were also in the photos I took with my old Nikon. I hope you enjoy the BBC's work or art!
