That's it Daryl! It is certainly not what you want to see when you roll up for work one evening however. Several drive-ins here in Melbourne have lost panels over the years, a few around the state have blown down completely, but these were wooden structures built in the 1950's.

I have seen a couple purposely cut down, it was like watching a book fall over on a table.......... in slow motion.

The Pathe Pictorial is quite an interesting little film. I've no idea who holds the rights to it now, I wonder if it would be possible to reproduce it for a reasonable fee.

ITN Archive bought the rights to British Pathe's entire output in 2002. The person you'd need to speak to is Linda Reeve on 020 7430 4480.

Better to find it on the ground when you arrive than have if come down during a show!
