Just found this; the hovercraft hangar at East Cowes still says "British Hovercraft", which was renamed to Westland Aerospace in 1984 (so wikipedia tells me), so no later than that, presuming that the name was changed on the hangar at the same time! (Used to live in Shanklin and then East Cowes, and my dad worked in the office at BHC, but we came to Australia in 1971).

Great to see this, so little has changed; roads/scenery all the same

That will be 1980 or later...there's a red Mini Metro in the film, and they came out in 80. Great footage!

I would say 1980 too, the Metro being centre of the shot suggests that it was something of note. Cheers !

The Crab Inn @ 0:51. King Harry's Bar (out of shot) @ 1:16. Nice pubs! The lovely Arreton Manor at 2:06 before it closed to the public - I never did get any pictures! it's now a private home with accommodation. I went on that chain ferry a couple of times but then couldn't find any reason to go to either Cowes or East Cowes! The nearest place of interest to me is Whippingham.

I Was in Ventnor last week, really hasn't changed that much since the 70's. Sure the faces have changed, many buildings forgotten but compared to other countries, it's still very well preserved and still close to what it used to be.

The blue spitfire to the left of the metro at 5.25 in appears to be a Y plate so 1982 or after?
