At 1.23 over the tin man balloons head is that a jet in the sky??
I was wondering the same thing about the jet. Perhaps it’s one of those that went missing in the Bermuda Triangle? Great footage of the parade!
A very nice film. It does not have to be a jet engine to leave a vapour trail, many old wartime films of bombers or dogfights show trails.
