Stretham - "Fenland on Film for ITV News Anglia"
Filmed: 28th June 2020

The 1st part of footage was filmed during our time with Stuart Leithes (ITV News Anglia) at Stretham Old Engine.

It was a bright but windy day and Drew was to appear on camera for a news story they were running. Rather than fake a demonstration of the camera, we opted to do it for real and captured a handful of shots (including one of the reporter for added authenticity).

The Fenland Flag (on which the Fenland on Film logo is inspired) also makes a cameo appearance purely by coincidence.

Witchford - "Thank U NHS" Spitfire Flypast & "Clap For Our Carers"
Filmed: 5th July

The film then moves to a Spitfire flyover at Witchford to mark the 72nd birthday of the NHS and, what was said to be, the final 'Clap for our Carers'.

The Spitfire made a couple of passes at around 5pm before heading towards Cambridge. Immediately after the flypast a few people came out of their homes to take part in a national gesture of thanks to all carers and key-workers during the pandemic.
Littleport - "End of the Reel"
Filmed: 5th July

The final section of film was captured in and around Littleport as we used up the remainder of the film cartridge.

These scenes were captured the first weekend after Covid-19 Lockdown restrictions had been eased; allowing people to return to pubs and restaurants.

Normality was beginning to resume (albeit for the duration of summer) and a sizeable proportion of the public threw caution to the wind to make up for lost time socialising.

Locations include:

The Harley-Davidson Monument
St George's Church
The Swan on the River
Fen Rivers Way (Public Footpath)
