In PLOT of Scene:
So then, Sir Percy Ware-Armitage and his Aircraft Roe IV Triplane was flying across take a shortcut Air Race (about he’s big cheater and after was across the Ocean in the Dark from UK to France), an behind approach was a Passenger Steam Train between Calais and Paris then his, “The Highland Railway’s ‘Jones Goods’ 4-6-0 No.103” (NORD) with is Six Coaches, and then Sir Percy's gets his comeuppance when he becomes disoriented by the Thick Smoke from Below the Steam Locomotive forcing him to landed his aircraft on one of Two Ends a Between the Coach Four and Coach Five, as they Sir Percy was runs along the top an trying shout it to get the driver's attention, but it was too late the Train approach the Tunnel, then Sir Percy was shocked an ran back to save the Aircraft but it was no good and a Train goes into a Tunnel an Sir Percy ducked, and as then a Train was passed through an they came out Sir Percy is safe he was Black an Sati, but then a Aircraft's Wings was been broke off an destroyed as badly damage beyond repair, and Sir Percy Ware-Armitage was outburst of ending, then so his out of Air Race.
What a funny messed up!
The location his where is the now Closed the Line between from Bedford to Hitchin. The Tunnel is the Old Warden Tunnel near the Village of the same name in Bedfordshire; the Tunnel had only recently been Closed, and in the panning shot through the railway cutting, the cooling towers of the now-demolished Goldington Power Station can be seen.
In 1910, just Seven (7) Years after the First ‘Heavier-Than-Air Flight’, Aircraft are fragile and unreliable contraptions, Piloted by "intrepid birdmen".

Terry Thomas had the perfect teeth for saying "blast".
Delightful movie. I remember seeing it as a kid. What I never noticed at the time was that at 1:55 in the background you can see modern power plant cooling towers.
Bedford power station - now demolished. Not long after this when the line was closed we walked through Old Warden tunnel. Quite creepy.
you mean 1:05
((( behind his left shoulder )))
Yes, where are they in this superimposed film strip?
@@montybasset As far as I remember, they supposed to be in France in that scene.
@@TOFKAS01 Correct, somewhere between Calais and Paris.
Помню этот фильм моего детства! Тогда в Союзе он шёл под названием "Воздушные приключения". Смотрел уже не помню сколько раз, и всякий раз с удовольствием.
Highland Railway 103 was withdrawn shortly thereafter, but magnificent seeing her in this classic comedy!
Nobody says "Blast!" Better than Terry-Thomas!
It's that gap between his teeth...
A great movie, and Terry Thomas was a fantastic comedian. It's a damn shame how he ended up.
...getting his comeuppance, as usual; hysterical!
Grosses Kino die Tollkühnen männer in ihren fliegenden kisten ich den Film gerne gesehen

True British film making,, great light hearted viewing.. Love it.
Terry Thomas was great and funny in everything, even the dramas he appeared in.
In French…”Stop the train”, was called…”Arretez le train”.
You can say he got his wings clipped
ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES EVER AND FOREVER !!!!!
That final BLAST! is hilarious!
0:10 Highland Railways Jones Goods No.103.
Somewhere I read that the powerplant was intentionally left in to remind people it's just a movie. But I've also read that the given "Its just a movie" was issued after screenings and nobody not even the editors noticed it.
I'm sure you are right that nobody noticed. I imagine most of us had no idea what we were seeing if we had noticed them.
Arriteeeeee la trainggggg!!!!!! Terry Thomas was georgeous
Das war für mich immer großes Kino
Goldington power stn in background!
That’s a nostalgia trip! One of my earliest memories is watching this with my parents. I laughed and laughed at every corny slapstick joke. Good times.
As at least one commentator has already remarked, this was filmed on the Hitchin to Bedford line quite close to Cardington air sheds. I'm old enough to have travelled on the route just before it closed. The tunnels are largely bricked up as bat sanctuaries but it is possible - or was a few years ago - to get access to the track bed.
And it is a wonderful film!
Notice the cooling towers in the backround ?
Goldington Power Station, Bedford
Love the Didcot power station in the background...😂
I thought this was filmed on the Bedford to Hitchin line that is now disused.
One of my childhood favorites.
These days Terry Thomas would be accused of blacking up for that scene..
Classic comedy scene
This movie is fun to watch. Great old planes.😀
I have watched and loved this film for many years and only just noticed the cooling towers in the background! Agh!
Such a fun movie
I remember going to the Saturday matinee in my small NZ town and watching this.
My fav Terry Thomas scene is when he is telling his sidekick Eric Sykes about how he has distracted the French pilot with an English girl so that they can sabotage the French plane.
Sykes: I bet she’s a nice ‘un eh.
Thomas: We’ll you ought to know. She’s your daughter.
One of the greatest movies of all time!
Saw this movie as a child. It was extremely funny.
Hilarious scene arete le train!!!! Blast!!!!
French 🇫🇷 indeed! That there’s a Scottish locomotive! 😆
Classic movie
Was such an exciting film seen through the eyes of a young boy😅.
it's such a drag when that happens
In the USSR, this film was called "Aerial adventures". I watched it as a kid, in the early 70s. It was shown every summer to the delight of the boys. As a child, I went to the cinema "The Great Race" and "Air Adventures" every summer. And now both films look great. In those years, knew how to make movies!
great viewing on my 83"
The tunnel used is 'Old Warden' railway tunnel Bedfordshire ,its still there today and easily accessible to enter and walk through.
"Blast." Is that all Sir Percy can say...
Blast!
a similar big top cast members comedy adventure is "The Great Race".
The Airfield used in the film, was Booker Aerodrome at High Wycombe, now called Wycombe Air Park, and old friend sadly passed on, was tasked with taking the farm tractor up to help move things, and met all of the stars, and managed to see some of the filming
the real aerodrome of this period was Brooklands, however wartime expansion by Vickers and the expansion of housing meant that it would have been useless for filming
Barbara Cartland learnt to fly there, as did most of the Great War Aviators
I dont care how much they go up tiddly up up they're still gits.
Flasheart!
The movie was set in 1910, but we clearly see a power station with cooling towers in the distance. Cooling towers were were not invented until 1918, and the first ones were built in the 1920s.
Bedford Power Station, now demolished. When I first saw it in 1965 I was more concerned that it wasn’t a French train - but I lived in Bedford so it was all very exciting.
Well, should they have to tear down the power station for the movie? No wonder that Brexit was a success. Smartasses like you were responsible.😂😂😂😂
@@TheAndrewJBakerI lived in Shefford. I saw the train there one evening. It was parked on the former high street bridge.
What is absolutely insane is that 1965 was closer to those days than to us
Cleopatra is closer to our time than she was to the Great Pyramid.
Ahem.. Cooling Towers in the Background... Um.. Um. Back to the Future... Whooohaaa... Hahaa
Сейчас такого замечательного кино не снимают.
Pelicula buenisima aqui se llamo los marabillosos hombres y sus maquinas boladoras
Filmed on the Bedford-Hitchin line. pity that the carriages were scrapped after the shooting.
Always remember feeling more sorry for the plane in this scene.
Very Funny Movie I saw when came out in Movies BIG Screen...really cool!
Accidentally featuring Goldington power station. Also featuring Old Warden or Southill tunnel.
Bedford to Hitchin by Old Warden Tunnel
The AVRO Triplane and Bristol Boxkite made for this movie, are now part of the Shuttleworth Collection, at Old Warden Aerodrome. They are still in flying condition and flown on display days.
@@brianartilleryit's too bad the rest of those airworthy planes never made it into the collection like- the French Santos Dumont Demoiselle, the( mock-German ) Eardley-Billings biplane, the ( nock-English ) Antoinette monoplane, and the ( Italian count's) Neiuport monoplane.
@@DavidSmith-xs3or - Oh, definitely. I'd love to know their fates. I have a sad feeling that they were dismantled following filming, and then lost in time. I'd love to see a huge Antoinette chugging sedately across the sky.
The railway was the now disused Bedford to Hitchin line, the tunnel the famous Warden Tunnel. If it hadn't been closed, we'd have the Oxford Cambridge vross country route in place.
Loved that movie.
Как же не везёт Сэру Персику . Чтобы так всей Британии везло как ему .😂
Exactly the same thing happened to me.
Nice video. LIKE
At 1:05, you can see 1960's power station cooling towers in the background.
This movie set in 1910. Funny seeing nuclear power station water cooling towers in the background…. Hilarious. 😅😊😆🤣
It's a coal-fired station, not nuclear.
Unvergessen.
Blast.....
Roe Triplane.

Hello? This is the Civil Aeronautics Board, we'd like to talk to you about the operation of your aircraft.
I love this movie growing up with my father. All I have to say about this guy, he got what he deserves for cheating.
The Jones 103 goods Loco, masquerading here as a Chemin de Fer train in France was borrowed from preservation in Scotland. The filming had to be done unannounced, since production didn't want enthusiasts and photographers lining the route.
The line ran from Hitchin to Bedford and had closed to passengers a few years earlier, the section seen here just east of Bedford being lifted last. Incredibly, it was once the MR's main route to London for some years.
1:10 modern power plant 😅
I wonder if the steam from the locomotive's stack would have made the plane's fabric wings heavy and distorted the airfoil shape? Too bad for the pilot that the train crew didn't notice him right above the locomotive and laid on the whistle and bell.
Interesting question. I felt compelled to do a little research. It turns out that it would have. Even though the canvas was treated, prolonged steam exposure, (very high humidity), would have softened it to the point where the spars and ribs would weigh it down enough to distort its aerodynamic properties and disrupt its ability to create lift.
By prolonged exposure, I mean hours.
Smacking the tunnel ruined the aerodynamics much quicker. 🤣
They wouldn't know that the steam and smoke would do anything worse than inconvenience him. In that Era, flying was still, to most folk, akin to magic.
My mother used to talk about a plane ride she got from her older cousin in the 1920s in an SE. 5
1:53 😂
Wot sort of plane is that?
This movie is only availabl on VHS if you can find it WTF?
on VHS
A German version that includes English audio does exist on DVD and Blu-Ray ("Die tollkühnen Männer in ihren fliegenden Kisten").
thanks for the info😀@@herborty8658
Hello, can anyone remember the last scene. How much time does it take for EE Lightening to cover the same distance?
I never saw the movie. What was he looking for the beer cab?
Somewhere in the movie Benny hill shows up.
in a fire engine with girls chasing it
Judging by the fact that the train has overtaken him, he will get to his destination faster than by plane :)
Хошая комеия суппер😊😊😊
Look at 1:13 Nuclear cooling towers in the long shot..lol...
the stupid thing is that if he didnt try to cheat, he would have probably won anyway.
At 1:11, you can see nuclear plant cooling towers in the background.
Did anyone else notice the nuclear power plant in the background?
*Coal. Any Steam Powerplant may have Cooling Towers.
Oh? I've never those type of cooling towers anywhere but on nuclear plants. @@Genius_at_Work
In the early days of aviation, pilots mostly flew very low so they could spot landmarks and follow rail tracks.
When they started carrying passengers, some began flying directly above the rail tracks so the passengers couldn't see the train outpace them.
This was when pilots had no real flight instruments to speak of.
*RE: Cooling Towers - Dutch engineers Frederik van Iterson and Gerard Kuypers patented the hyperboloid cooling tower in 1918, with the first being built near Heerlen that year. The UK saw the first tower being built in 1924 in Liverpool, to cool water used at a coal-fired electrical power station*
I'm qualified for IFR
Oh, you navigate using Instrument Flying Rules?
No, I Follow Railways
Stop the pigeon !
Looks like there's a leak on the smoke box door
I believe engine drivers are called engineers in French?
US as well I think?
Я очень смеялся...
.
Jones Goods 4-6-0 in france. Quite a mistake 🤣
....SNCF would NEVER have agreed to allow filming on THEIR trains; how gauche!
He’s flying IFR: I follow railroads.
Also, why is there a nuclear power plant in the background? 😅
What NO CGI?
boy, filmed on television. You can not be serious?
Jammer dat je een moderne elektriciteitcentrale op de achtergrond ziet.
後ろに原子力発電所の煙突が😂
Are those nuclear power plant cooling towers in the far background?
The nuclear power station 😂 all right it was coal, is it the one near Nottingham?❤
Funny how you see a film when you are a boy and end up living near where it was film. I live about a mile from the old Bedford Hitchin railway line at Henlow camp
That is really neat.
He was the corny Englishman in every sitcom from Bewitch. To Andy Griffith and so on
And the proprietor of Dreadnought motor traction in St Trinians
@@dessmith7658 Bernard Fox
@@vanpenguin22 We are talking about Terry Thomas ?
@@dessmith7658 Bernard Fox
Actually,
I bet you're right
I bet that's Terry Thomas
There’s a nuclear plant in the background lol
There's a nuclear power plant in the background. 🤣
