Hi Alan - I was company accountant for Solomon and Co, at that time the biggest company on the island - general merchants, doing just about everything! Not sure which car was carrying the video camera - could even have been my old Zephyr, No. 289. This part of the island is the driest, but building there is encouraged by government, and it is only a five minute drive from Jamestown - or 4 minutes down Jacob's Ladder if you are brave enough!

More civilized that I thought. What on earth did you do there for 4 years? The cinematographer's car was apparently a real rattletrap!

The link leads to a short video of a drive from Jamestown to Half Tree Hollow, which was a large part of my daily drive to and from work when I lived on the island, 1967-69 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70pRc-004Kw Road rules there included that cars coming down the hill had to give way to those coming up - as, of course, most of the cars at that time, being of English manufacture, were under-powered! My car was a 1966 Ford Zephyr, a bit more powerful than most.
