Des anyone remember the awesome advertisement for the 1990 Auckland Commonwealth Games? It ran for about two minutes, and was made in NZ. It was set however on the Western Front in World War One and featured what was supposed to have been the event that started the idea for the Commonwealth Games.
A New Zealander, an Australian, an English guy, A Scot, and perhaps others all decided to have a running race across no man's land, round a post, and back to their trench. It featured some rock song and lots of bagpipes. And as the runners are on their way back to the trench a Fokker DR.1 Triplane swoops down and attempts to shoot them.
It was a really great advert. Has anyone got a copy of the full version? I'd love to see it again. I understand that the Triplane was then owned by Stuart Tantrum, but is now owned by Peter Jackson.
