Yes very nostalgic. These were all originally shot in 35mm hence the high image quality.
Runfer, I too remember the Forth Road Bridge going up. We regularly took Sunday trips to a vantage point near South Queensferry where you could park and see the progress.
Both films have actually stood the test of time pretty well. They overestimated future car numbers a bit but most of their predictions haven't proved too outlandish. No flying cars for example.
What does strike me is the gung ho approach to knocking our cities about in the name of progress......and the lack of Health and Safety. Does a flat cap and a fag count as protective gear?
