Bit of trivia. I was sat next to a lad in the departure lounge at RAF Brize Norton – as I recall he was with 59 Independent Commando Squadron RE – and we were watching the featured film on the very large back-lit Sony TV they had for the troops. As you’ll see near the beginning of the film, Quatermass drives through a new-build housing estate, and that’s when this lad prods me and says: “That’s where I was born, in 1960”. So I says to him: “Where’s that?”, and he replies: “Hemel Hempstead, place called Newtown”. Small world as I was born on a new-build housing estate a few years earlier. Lot more babies born at home back then. Lot more babies period. I’m a late Boomer 🙂
