Shortly preceding the publicity generated by our airtime on BBC1 on 1/03/10 we received an unexpected email from a Juliet Sanders whose late husband was once the transport manager for PERA – the company for responsible for operating the cinema units for the government. She holds a treasure trove of information and images of the units, something we’d previously wished and hoped still existed somewhere and here’s the first……….! This is conclusive proof that all seven existed as it had been previously suggested to me that only six actually got made, a stunning image. If only we could find another surviving one or just as good, one of the trailers.
