[QUOTE="Prozach, post: 31650, member: 2566"] Hey Guys, Do you ever watch those shows/documentaries and wonder "Why didn't they just ask someone that knows?" That is what I am doing here on your forum. We are starting production on a documentary about the JEL Lightning and Rollie Free. The documentary will be profile the three distinctly different groups that all worked together to claim the record on the salt in 1948. It will feature John Edgar, the man who came up with the idea and paid for it, Philip Vincent and Phil Irving, I'm guessing you're familiar with these guys, and of course Rollie Free, the crazy bloke that rode the bike in his swim trunks at 150mph to claim the record. We are in Los Angeles and our budget will likely not be able to take us to England. I am hoping that the VOC can help me track down some old footage or photos of the plant in Stevenage (shots of the production line, machines, bikes, buildings etc...) I am also looking for photos or footage of Phil Irving and Philip Vincent we can use in the documentary. I would also love to know what books, magazines and publications you think I must read to get the real Vincent story. I have read everything I can get my hands on in researching this project, but I know you guys know more than me and would love to hear from you. Thank you, Zach Siglow WATV Productions 310.306.8606 [URL="http://www.watvproductions.com"]www.watvproductions.com[/URL] [/QUOTE]
