I wonder if the model village was ever finished ? according to the clip it would be finished in 1983.
"Long Whittenham" should read Long Wittenham. (Note that county boundary changes mean it's now in Oxfordshire, not Berkshire).
"Roy England" should read Roye England.
"Mr England's wife and daughter" - actually the girl is called Wynne Morris, and not Roye England's daughter.
Thanks jamied.
Gary Knight - we wonder about this too! Does anyone know? Or have a picture of it now? Send it in!
The museum is still there. See http://www.pendonmuseum.com. If you're in the area, well worth a visit. A modern video can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzDQsZ__DyE
