What a lovely film. I remember water skiing at Ruislip Lido being featured in Cliff Richard's film The Young Ones (1961). Nowdays the wearing of ski vests is compulsory and there's special equipment for ski jumping. I understand that the water level at Ruislip is too low for water skiing to continue there (and now swimming is not permitted). Pity.

I believe the handsome young dark-haired man in the blue coat and dark red trunks is my father, Jack May (1923-2012).
