Re: Hull Docks, 1950 MOT film.
I have a number of Snobow discs and along with the bits shown here on site there is one common theme.
The style of music in the background and the style of voice of the commentators.
Obviously a style of the times then.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Biscuits? biscuits? you were spoiled then, hardly ever saw biscuits at sea, apart from when on American flag and they were something else, instant dehydration, bit like powdered cream crackers.
