It's gone full circle, that's how it all started. A bloke going around with a white sheet and cine camera, setting it up in the village hall and showing the then latest films.

In 1967 the British government launched seven custom built mobile cinema units for use as part of the Ministry of Technology campaign to raise standards. Using a very futuristic look these 27 seat cinema vehicles were designed to attract attention. They were built on a Bedford SB3 chassis with a custom Coventry Steel Caravan extruded aluminium body.
