28th February 2019 - Operations Julie and Superheroes

Thought for the day:"I have a Russian friend who is a sound technician, and a Czech one too, Czech one too"



Seems that a film company has decided to make a Comedy Thriller about the drugs but in the 70's called operation Julie ...

Operation Julie is a comedy-thriller telling the extraordinary true story of the undercover police operation that smashed one of the most bizarre drug rings the world has ever seen – and changed British policing forever.
In April 1975 a brilliant Cambridge biochemist, Richard Kemp, was involved in a fatal car accident near Machynlleth. The crash led to the discovery of evidence connecting Kemp to a suspected LSD “factory” in north Wales. On 26 March 1977, following a 13 month police investigation, officers swooped on 87 properties in England and Wales, arresting 120 suspects in the largest series of drugs raids ever seen in the UK.
With exclusive rights to the memoirs of one of these officers, Stephen Bentley, Operation Julie has all the tension, drama and commercial appeal of the best films in the undercover crime genre – but all given a gleefully British comedic period spin as a peace and love Donnie Brasco plays out among the free-love communes, sheep farms and horizontal rain of 1970’s rural Wales.
The film offers an exclusive first-hand account of the story’s human drama, shining a light on the escapades of two officers who went so deep undercover they were no longer sure what side they were meant to be on, and the loveable rogues who captured the hearts of the locals despite their double lives as members of an international criminal conspiracy.
Hmm !!!

I know some officers involved who will be rather upset by this take upon their work on this operation ....
In other news - Batman came to town yesterday ...
I took some photos - but was slightly more taken wit the fact that they had not advertised that other heroes would be there as well...  and they way it works is that you cannot get near to Batman as they had a little enclosure - so I got some pictures of the car - but not really the Batman himself....











and some photos form Alan Evans
















Sorry Sir ! You can't park that there 


Phase One Cameras...
So - I have been discussing these beasties today with the man who taught me all that I know about photography in a 20 minutes lesson ... Justin McKie - see him on Instagram...
Powerful machines!!!  I do not think that they will be in my price bracket! but we are thinking of setting up stall at Curious Pastimes event 1....


And with those few thoughts ... I bid you well - I am off to a Getaway tomorrow with some Moonies!

Cheers !
