The Victory Show 2021


In 2021 after a years break The Victory Show returned to Foxlands Farm in Cosby Leicestershire. Featuring Historical Societies, re-enactments, Vintage Vehicles and Aircraft, history came alive for visitors to the popular annual show. We start our visit to the event with a marching band who lead us into the 100 acre site before a flypast and landing by vintage aircraft. As the action moves back to down to earth we see various vehicles in motion before a masterclass in reversing a tank. To the woods then where we are advised to wear our helmets and to beware of enemy shells. In a German camp they are playing chess whilst listening to a gramophone when a soldier brings news of a possible attack, Over in the allied trenches they are ready for action as they make a push toward enemy lines. We end on a letter (or maybe a report of the days events ?) being typed up, before tents are packed away for another year.

Early Morning at Bradgate Park

This short film was shot by me during the early morning sunrise at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. The film features Bradgate park which was the birthplace and early home of Lady Jane Grey - 9 days Queen of England. The park is well known for its herds of red and fallow deer who roam freely amongst the spectacular scenery of this unspoilt part of Leicestershire.

BMX National Series at Huncote Hornets, Leicestershire

The 29th and 30th September 2018 saw the #BMX National Series come to #Leicester Huncote Hornets BMX track, The event (rescheduled due to weather issues in early spring) saw riders of all ages arrive in the Leicestershire town from across the country to do battle on the Hornets BMX track behind the Pavilion leisure center. My film aims to give a sense of the race atmosphere on day two of the event where a dramatically cloudy sky and lighting gave a cinematic feel to races on the track. Hold on tight this is a fast one !.

The Paris - Roubaix Bike Race - April 2013

My film features the professional (and dusty !) Paris - Roubaix Bike Race which took place in April 2013 and was filmed at various locations along the route in France. The Race takes place (as its name suggests) on a route between Paris and Roubaix in northern France and is famous for its rough terrain and cobblestones which often cause riders to fall and gives the race its nickname of 'The Hell of the North & 'A Sunday in Hell'. The event was first run in 1896 and as one of cycling's oldest races draws large crowds from many country's. The race was created by two Roubaix textile manufacturers, Théodore Vienne and Maurice Perez.

The Engine Sheds at the Snowdon Mountain Railway

During a visit to The Snowdon Mountain Railway I was invited to take a look 'behind the scenes' in the railways engine sheds in Llanberis. The sheds are equipped to repair and maintain their collection of both vintage steam and more recent diesel engines. The recently restored Snowdon Lilly Carriage can be seen alongside one of the steam engines awaiting it's first public trip to the summit later that day as part of the newly launched Heritage Steam Service my video of which can be seenin my previous post Here
