I was given this video a few days back. It's a couple of short films made by Nick Burge, who passed away a few years ago.
I transferred it to digital from an old VHS tape, and as it is probably at least a third generation copy with Youtube compressing the life out of things, don't expect the clarity of modern day footage. However some interesting boats. Most of them were made by Nick, HMS Stoic features about half way through, which was built by Bernie Woods, and the Surcouf was Bernie's too I believe, although later taken on by Nick. The depth charges and exploding torpedoes (eat your heart out, Dave!) were Paul Thompsens work. All the video was shot in Nicks pool which he built in his back garden!
