UK film archive releases 1970s Manx holiday footage

A UK film archive has released footage from a school holiday in the Isle of Man from almost 50 years ago.

The Scotland-based Cinema For Thurso Archive digitised the 24 minutes of 8mm film and uploaded it to YouTube.

The footage shows a group of children travelling to the Island on the Mona's Queen before camping and visiting the wildlife park.

It's dated the film to 1975, but no further details are available about the cameraman of those appearing in it.
