sixcyl ◊ 2007-10-30 18:59	Nice virtual Museum of automobile this series
93montero ◊ 2007-10-30 22:46	I love David Suchet and Hugh Fraser together in this show.
Sunbar ◊ 2007-11-03 17:17	Part of "Death in the Clouds", episode 4.02, is set in France.
Weasel1984 ◊ 2007-11-03 19:02	When I was 7 y.o. I didn't like this series, because there were only 'such old cars' , but now I must to say that it is a really nice and interesting collection.
Sunbar ◊ 2007-11-16 13:09	Episode 2.01, "Peril at End House" in Cornwall. A De Haviland Biplane (Rapide?) and a unknown seaplane. -- Last edit: 2007-11-16 13:11:07
Alexander ◊ 2007-11-16 16:06	The bi-plane is a De Havilland DH.89A Dragon Rapide, built 1946, and the sea-plane is a Volmer VJ.22 Sportsman. While the Dragon Rapide was first delivered in 1934 and therefore matches the period setting, the Volmer made it's maiden flight in 1958, more than 20 years after the film story. But being a kit-plane the rather simple design matches the early 1930s.
Bravada ◊ 2007-12-30 23:11	The series is almost as brilliant as the "generique". Anyway, car chase in today's episode (the one with the stolen medallions/miniatures) - what might have been an Austin police car chased a couple in what I think might have been a BMW.
Sunbar ◊ 2008-01-05 20:36	Episode 6.03 "Murder on the Links" is set in 1936 at Deauville in France.
Sunbar ◊ 2008-01-06 14:34	Episode 8.02 "Murder in Mesopotamia" completed. One smaller background sedan visible.
Sunbar ◊ 2008-01-06 21:39	Episode 4.01 "The ABC Murders" completed Some smaller or less well seen background vehicles. A Wolseley (that looks a little too modern?), an unknown Austin and an Austin Seven (Ruby?). -- Last edit: 2008-01-06 21:44:38
chris40 ◊ 2008-01-06 22:01	Wolseley is probably OK, could be a 1936 14 or 16 h.p. The unknown Austin is probably a 1933 12/6 and there are two Rubies in the third thumbnail
Sunbar ◊ 2008-02-04 15:02	Episode 3.05 "Wasps' Nest" Completed 'Marble Hill' Underground station appears to be Arnos Grove on the Piccadilly line in real life... Link to "photos.ltmcollection.org" Unknown breakdown truck not clearly seen... ...plus a smaller background Austin and a blurred Morris or Ford?... -- Last edit: 2008-02-04 17:06:53
chris40 ◊ 2008-02-04 17:20	Sunbar wrote ...plus a smaller background Austin and a blurred Morris or Ford?... Austin, yes, comparing it to the MG I'd say a Big Seven. The blur is a Morris Eight Series I, apparently with an aftermarket boot. -- Last edit: 2008-02-04 17:22:03
Sunbar ◊ 2008-02-09 18:08	Episode 3.09 completed "The Theft of the Royal Ruby". De Havilland Tiger Moth -- Last edit: 2008-02-09 18:09:06
Alexander ◊ 2008-02-09 20:00	Sunbar wrote It is a Stampe et Vertongen SV.4C built under licence either by S.N.C.A.N. (Societe Nationale de Constructions Aeronautiques du Nord -- short: Nord) in France or by A.I.A. (Atelier Industriel de l'Aéronautique d'Alger) in Algeria. Those licence built versions were named Nord Stampe SV.4C or A.I.A. SV.4C and used a Renault 4-Pei engine. The Belgian built SV.4B used de Havilland Gipsy Major I engines, post-war more powerful Cirrus Major or Gipsy Major X. The registration G-AAVX is not original. It belonged to a Saunders Roe A17 Cutty Sark flying boat which was sold to Canada and hence re-registered VR-SAA in 1930.
boardman ◊ 2008-02-09 20:34	I appeared in several scenes of 'Murder On The Links' driving a blue 1924 Citroen 5cv Cloverleaf open tourer. John Barringer -- Last edit: 2008-02-09 20:48:41
Alexander ◊ 2008-02-09 22:57	Hi John! Very interesting, thanks for the info! Was it your own car you used?
Sunbar ◊ 2008-02-10 13:39	John, I have looked again at the screen captures I have of 'Murder On The Links' and can only find a distant background tourer that is too small to identify. I will make a note to re-visit the episode as it is frequently repeated. If you can supply more information that would be good. It is always interesting when somebody has actual information about the cars used. Were some of the external scenes shot in the UK (I think they could have been) or were they all in France? -- Last edit: 2008-02-10 13:42:25
boardman ◊ 2008-02-10 16:15	Sunbar & Alexander. The car was my sons car that he had restored. I spent three or four days in Deauville and Trouville doing exterior shots. Much action was shot outside the Hotel Normandy (named Du Golf on screen) although interior shots of the hotel were actually done at Mentmore House near Aylesbury UK. I had a day filming there with My vintage Rolls Royce 20hp but it is only visible for a second or two as a background blocker in the doorway. I have a nice picture of the Citroen and also of a Chrysler outside the Hotel but have been unable to upload them (although I have tried). Film hire is great fun if you own an old car, especially if tourists are watching and you can overhear them wondering if you are someone famous! If you can send me an email address I will send some pictures that were taken on the set. john.barringer@ntlworld.com -- Last edit: 2008-02-10 16:33:05
Sunbar ◊ 2008-02-11 21:05	John thank you for sending the pictures of the cars during filming. Your son's 1924 Citroen 5cv Cloverleaf open tourer is just visible in the background here, I believe. I also included your picture for the Citroen. As I said before, if I can find a larger screen capture in the future I will list it separately. Your picture of the Chrysler is also included in its own listing... vehicle_147636-Chrysler-65-1929.html
Sunbar ◊ 2008-02-18 15:45	Episode 3.08 "The Mystery of the Spanish Chest" and episode 9.04 "The Hollow" completed.

Sunbar ◊ 2009-01-14 12:15	Episode 10.01 The Mystery of the Blue Train (2005) completed. Filming locations from IMDb... Nene Valley Railway, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England, UK (Nice and Paris railway stations) Nice, Alpes-Maritimes, France An ambulance only partly seen...
