On 13th July 2010, I was invited onto a Podcast Show called “Pairanormalguys” to discuss the subject of chemtrails with the host, Jason Pepper. In the podcast, we discussed the issue of when the first pictures of chemtrails/contrails were seen. One of the earliest images I have seen is from a paper published 1970, though it seems they did not become common place till the 1990’s (for more information see http://contrailscience.com/category/chemtrails/).

Following the broadcast, a posting was made on my Facebook “Wall” thus:
Just listening to you on Pair a normal guys re chemtrails.... Check the trail out in this advert... The railway children was made in 1970....
And of course, it is true - in 1970, a film called "The Railway Children" was made in the UK. This delightful story itself was originally written by E Nesbitt and first published in 1906. It is a much-loved and deeply moving story - which children can easily identify with - due to the adventures and petty squabbles between the 3 siblings Bobby, Peter and Phil and the separation of them from their father. Also, adults and children can both “feel” the story due to the focus it maintains on basic values of friendship in the midst of hardship and injustice, in a well-educated middle-class family. (I have listened to a radio production of the story many, many times with my own children, as we have driven around the country). The story was set in 1900’s in Yorkshire – and some of the 1970 film was made only a few miles from where I grew up in the 1960’s and 1970’s. (For those interested, as of writing this article, the film is posted on YouTube in about 10 or 11 parts.)

So, the person that contacted me sent me an interesting link, which seemed to indicate that an image of a Chemtrail was seen in this 1970 film. The image was contained – not in the original film – but in a TV commercial aired for Virgin Trains (UK train company) in 2005 when a new train (“The Pendolino”) was brought into service. This advert, at the time it aired, was lauded for its technical video wizardry - which “deposited” various 1950’s films stars such as Cary Grant, Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis into scenes shot on the Virgin Train – among the other regular passengers – while they looked on in amazement and bemusement.
