Here’s a thread for video journeys.

Kicking off with a short (15 minute) but pretty flight over forested islands and straits, hanging from the left boom of an iconic Cessna Skymaster.

Here’s a very nice nocturnal urban ride – a complete return circuit of the famous Wuppertal Suspension Railway, an elevated hanging monorail system dating from 1901, but now rather more hi-tech.

Might as well put it in here:

Highly recommended half hour film: Terminus (1961).

>John Schlesinger’s outstanding “fly on the wall” film about a day in the life of Waterloo Station.

It was nominated for a BAFTA Film Award for Best Documentary. As well as being a masterpiece of film it has a magnificent soundtrack composed by Ron Grainer (who later composed the Doctor Who theme).

One for the vintage aviation buffs:

The last flying Lockheed Super Constellation: engine start, flaming takeoff and landing.
