Apparently not! This one of them shooting the opening sequence is a small insight into how easy video editing is now....

Ha I just did an NSC search for Twitter looking to find a place to post a recommendation for a site to follow.
The site in question being:-

https://twitter.com/HistoricalPics

There's been some top draw shots recently.
I think it would be great if they posted contemporary photos with the historical ones, esp those of skylines and buildings.
I keep thinking how underpopulated the old photos look.


Anyhoo while on the subject of Twitter recommendation, SI is great to follow:-
