Whistle Down The Wind - Downham Village

[Paul]

This is Downham Village in Lancashire, on a very blustery day today (March 22nd) - you can see the flowers and even clothing on washing lines being harried by the wind - where the famous movie "Whistle Down The Wind" was for the most part set in. 

Film Synopsis: When an injured wife murderer takes refuge on a remote Lancashire farm, the owner's three children mistakenly believe him to be the Second Coming of Christ. 

Malcolm Arnold: Whistle Down the Wind (1961) Main Theme. [Norrie Paramor-Midland Radio Orchestra].

Your editing skills are improving all the time Paul and the continuity  work is really seamless ... what a GREAT  prize  this was in winning a drone  and you have taken to it like a duck to water !

Thanks Polly 

The drone is easy to fly really - something many of us would manage to do with a just a bit of practice. The editing takes a bit more time though.

Nicely done Paul, a place I'm very familiar with and photographed many times.

Thanks Geoff.

I was surprised at the number of cars going through the village - I thought it might have been quieter...

I bought a drone for other half a week or so ago .... Hoping  to try it out once he has mastered the controls... It was only a couple of hundred  pound so not a really expensive  item  but if it looks like  it 's something we  might like to do with better equipment  at least I wont feel so bad crashing  this one while learning how to control it first.

Yes, it's the quick way to get from Burnley, Nelson and Colne to Clitheroe and Whalley and vice versa.

Polly,  the one thing I can say is that it's pretty addictive!

 

Geoff, I saw it on Google maps, figured it might be so.
