Correct the"Oxygen" man Vince. Apprently Maurice used a lot of modern type effects etc. Certainly was so effective. If you get it put aside about 3 hours from memory.

Before my time Vince. Actually I have more affinity with the very northern isle of Shetland. My maternal Grandad was a Shetlander. The Paternal part from Glasgow. Being a Stewart I am also a pretender as Bonny Prince Charlie. My 2 sons & one of my grandsons as I me also have kilts in the cupboard.

LaurieS Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Now then a great story true as they come about the Royal Navy & the audacity. The Yangste Incident. HMS Amethyst in 1949 gets stuck up in the Yangste river damaged from gun fire from the Chinese Liberation army. IE stuck in the civil war. Her Captain killed Lt Commander Kierns joins the ship over land & HMS Amethyst escapes to the open sea. Filmed using the Amythest & her sister ship as thundering good true story. Brilliant musical score. Great shots of a Sunderland flying boat landing along side then taking off. "Slice the main brace".

The Amethyst had no boilers at that point and was towed throughout. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince1159 Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) I watched this docu years ago when i had Sky (20 Seconds of Joy) and the first chance i got i bought the dvd...One of the freinds that jumped with her said "When you start you have two jars,one empty the other full of luck,every time you jump you move a piece from the full jar to the empty one,eventually the luck jar's going to run out"...
