  As shown to Second World War Royal Navy recruits! In 1940 the Royal Navy was patrolling the North Sea in readiness for the onslaught of the Luftwaffe both to defend the homeland and counter-attack. As part of the training of naval crews it was imperative that the split-second identification of aircraft as either 'friend or foe'' had to become second nature. It was the difference between life and death. The films in this compilation are the actual training films from 1940 that would have been part of the education of Royal Navy personnel. They are presented in the original sequence in unabridged form so that you can encounter them as through the eyes of trainee Naval Gunners in 1940. You will experience the very same instructional training films that gave a rookie his first taste of identifying the range of Axis and Allied aircraft that he might conceivably encounter in the early years of World War Two whether they be fighter bomber or reconnaissance. Aircraft included: Spitfire Hurricane Blenheim Defiant Whitley Wellington Hampden Anson Hudson Sunderland Skua Albacore Swordfish Walrus Me-109 Me-110 Ju-86 Ju-87 Ju-88 Do-17 Do-18 He-111 He-114 He-115 Blohm and Voss.

Single-deck trams then double-deck open trams and later open-balcony trams became a familiar sight around the British Isles. Towns and Cities such as Glasgow Sheffield Blackpool Southampton Leicester Leeds Cardiff and London had extensive tramway systems. But many systems were damaged in the Second World War just as the trolleybus was gaining popularity and the tram systems were gradually scrapped. Trolleybuses. The history of the trolleybus dates back as far as 1882 to a small Berlin suburb where an experimental display of this type of transport continued until 13th June 1882. In 1911 Bradford and Leeds became the first British cities to offer trolleybuses that could carry passengers and eventually 50 trolleybus routes operated in Britain the largest being in London which began in May 1931. Glasgow was the last trolleybus system to be inaugurated in the British Isles the system opening on 3 April 1949 but lasted a total of only 18 years. Buses & Coaches.
