We Found a Valley

Thank you to Hani and Emad for preserving at least some of the BP film "We Found a Valley". I had asked BP London if they still had a copy, some years ago, and was told that they didn't know what I was talking about!!

Many thanks!

Hi John
I am sure that the complete film was sourced by Craig Young and shown at the first reunion back in 2004.....
so another copy is still around. Perhaps it too could be copied giving us all access to it? Over to you Craig.........
Regards
Roddy

Re: We Found a Valley

I eventually obtained a copy from someone, and showedit to Mum and also to Tommy Scarfe...it seems much fun was had during the film, the locals proved a little difficult at times. In one seen a turbanned arab appears- its actually Tommy sporting an Aden Suntan and dressed in mufti!. He told me the producer wanted good looking Arabs and when they couldnt find any, Tommy appeared dressed up as an arab and the rest is history. Got theimpression nobody told the producer that he was actually a British wag dressed up. Tommy had a great sense of humour and you could never be quite sure whose leg was being pulled.

Dear Gordon, please check your spelling. You used to be quite good at it (you once came joint 1st in a spelling test at LAPA School with Annette Longford. You are fully aware that in thiscontext Scene is spelled "Scene" not seen. Naughty corner 5 minutes.

Gordon & Roddy
I do not remember Craig showing the video at the first reunion. I recall Dermots video of his trip to Aden. If there is a copy and Gordon still has his, I am sure the staff at the refinery would appreciate a copy. I contacted BP London a couple of years ago regarding the film without results.
