Скачать или смотреть The Canadian WW2 pilot who crash landed on a remote Scottish island

In 1943, during the second world war, a Canadian pilot by the name of Don Franko crash landed on the tiny island in Orkney, Scotland called Auskerry. His navigation system was broken, his fuel was running out and it was dreadful weather. In the dark, with nothing to guide him except for the white outline of waves crashing on the cliffs of the island, Don guided his plane down - narrowing missing the actual cliffs as he came in as it was impossible to judge the grass level above the rock. He survived, and in so doing he inadvertently started an incredible bond between two families many decades later. I wanted to help preserve some of the island's history for generations to come by creating this record on film, and I hope you enjoy! This is part two of the visit to the island by county archaeologist of the Orkney Islands, Paul Sharman. Part one can be watched here:    • Archaeologist reveals secrets of prehistor...

My parents have been farming sheep on a remote Scottish island for nearly 50 years. For half that time, they've had a flock of North Ronaldsays, or Rollies, an ancient breed of seaweed-eating sheep native to the Orkney Islands. I took a sabbatical from my job in 2023 as a TV news reporter to help for four months and decided to film a documentary series about their unique lifestyle while I was there. I have continued the filming from my visits to the island in 2024 for a whole new series.
