High all, The new film (Movie) "The Flying Scotsman", the story of our fabulous Graham Obree was premiered at The Edinburgh International Film Festival. It opened to very mixed reviews some rave and others quite scathing. One of my best mates was ducking and diving trying to arrange a business trip up north for the festival, unfortunately he couldn't fix it, shame as I would have valued his opinion more than any broad sheet critic. He saw Graham race when he rode that ancient Cinelli track iron as a youngster in 81. A quick search on the web will give you all the details of what should be a classic cycling film, apparently its warts and all and pulls no punches according to some of the reviews. Graham was an extra on the film and did the riding I believe. B.Palmer Greenford UK
