October 27, 2025Oct 27 Something been mentioned in the hangar a bit recently, not being able to view content based on one's location. It hadn't hit me too often before, but now just happened here (video unavailable, blocked in your country on copyright grounds). Just tried changing my location with a VPN, and then it works fine. I somehow thought copyrights are more or less the same in most countries, strange. Maybe like if some crazy youtube influencer films themselves pulling the emergency brake handle on a train and then jumping off and dashing away, and there's footage of me flying into the aisle in the background, and social media kids around the world get a good laugh. Would I be entitled to get a share of the royalties, at least to cover medical expenses? I guess it's more for unauthorized use of other people's songs or film footage, but anyway, I can't tell there's anything off in this video that would cause it to get blocked. Oh well, very cool video to watch anyway. For some reason I really like older color footage, even if it may be "further" away from what we actually see in real life with our own eyes compared to modern cameras, it feels somehow warm and nostalgic. My last time in Taiwan I did a lot of hiking in the jungle and intentionally changed my phone settings to get a 1960's style color for photos, just to feel like I'm a National Geographic photographer back in the days of my childhood.

I suspect it wasn't available to you because this clip is part of a travelogue movie called 'The flying clipper'. The film follows the cruise around the Mediterranean of a group of Swedish merchant marine cadets in their tall ship. One of the cadets visits the Shangri-La for a few days. The production values and photography are just outstanding. Check out their visit to the Monaco grand prix,

I was only 7 yrs old in 1962, not quite a race fan yet, but really enjoyed this. Thanks Tom MAKA = Make America Kind Again
