Brooklands Racing Footage

[vixpy1]

I have some news reel footage of racing at Brooklands in the thirties. I've had it converted from reels purchased by my grandfather in the fifties. The reels actually feature him racing which is why he has them.

Would love to share them with PH, but they are Pathe and Movietone films and i'm not sure of the copyright situation.

Any ideas guys?

The British Pathe Archive is available for download on the web.

Try doing a search for 'Bluebird'...the clip of Sir Malcolm Campbell 'braking (sic) his own land speed record on Lake Coniston' looks interesting!

Oh, I have them in avi format, i'm just not sure of the copyright implications.. I thought it expired after 50 years?

Have you contacted the Brooklands Society www.brooklands.org , who may be able to offer advice and assistance?
