My wife is sailing in the Shetlands and visited the Scalloway Museum. She told me about the interesting story of the Shetland Bus. Thanks for the documentary, very interesting.

Thank you so much for this. I've just finished reading David Howarth's book, and this documentary has added even more to my understanding.

Thank you for keeping the memory of these men and women, and the events alive.

I do not shed too many tears these days but a few today when watching this amazing story. I am halfway through David Howarth's Book and this video has made an amazing story even more significant - thank you.

Hi Peter, thank you so much for your kind comment. I'm really glad you enjoyed the documentary!

A wonderful re-telling of this amazing story which is too little known.

Thanks for this fantastic documentary Gretings from Norway

My great grandfather just be was one of the crew members

An excellent summary of the Shetland Bus history, bringing together a very relevant selection of footage, images, recordings and commentators. Thanks are due to the producer for bringing this all together in such a well produced piece for posterity.

Thanks for your kind comment Mark!

I had no idea about this wonderful story. I'd love to popularise the phrase "hopping in the Shetland Bus" to spread awareness of the meaning!

Needed much more than a like, what a wonderful telling of heroism and humanity.

Thanks for the comment John I appreciate it, glad you liked the doc!

Superb story telling and a quality production. It sent shivers up my spine and, at the end, brought a tear to my eye. Thanks Rebs, as you know, we discovered the story when we visited the monument in Scalloway. This was a great way to find out more and to hear first and second hand about the exploits of these brave freedom fighters.

Thanks so much for your kind words Paul! I really appreciate it, and glad you liked it!

Hi Rebecca - it's Donald here (from the talk at MMU on Wednesday). Loved the film. As soon as I saw the name David Howarth I remembered the name. I think he married my mum's cousin, which, I think, makes Stephan Howarth my 2nd cousin.

Hi Donald, thanks so much for your comment, what a small world that he married your cousin! Glad you liked the documentary.

Great documentary. Thank you for the upload 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

Don't forget the information was essential for the war effort, information like the nazi heavy water facility for nuclear weapon development.

Anyone able to identify the tractor in the photo of Moore,bonneted Albion or Scammell? Bought a copy of Howarths book whilst on Shetland and visited Luna and Vidlin Voe,stunning account

Hi @Rebecca thankyou for A great documentary! At 7:56 you show A picture, do you have the names of the men in that picture? in the foreground there is a bearded man with a winter coat and he looks a lot like my grandfather.

What's the name of the song in the closing credits? Google and Bing usually do a good job of finding songs if given a couple of lines from the lyrics but I haven't got a single hit.
