Andrew Upton Posted 4 April , 2007 Share Posted 4 April , 2007 Also there is a chap called Dickie Knight who runs the Vickers Machine Gun Society who demonstrates a blank firing Vickers MG. http://www.khaki-on-campaign.co.uk/khaki.htm. You could try asking them for help or just go along to one of their events ask if you could sound record. I saw them at Old Sarum last August. I don't know if they provide extras for film work, some WW2 groups do. As a member of the Vickers Machine Gunners Society who was present at Old Sarum with Dickie, I should point out whilst the VMGS apparently has all the paperwork in place to eventually own such a gun, the live-firing Vickers that was shown in use for that weekend was in fact rented from one of the UK's leading prop/gun suppliers/renters. However, should you require any help I'm sure Dickie would be interested, and I can pass better contact details on if necessary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landsturm Posted 5 April , 2007 Share Posted 5 April , 2007 Beyond The Front Line (Framom främsta linjen) Correct transaltion; not "beyond", but "in front"... Sorry just wanted to burst... The Finnish title is "Etulinjan edessä". BTW, Paul... anything more you can tell us about the film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantsmil Posted 5 April , 2007 Share Posted 5 April , 2007 Correct transaltion; not "beyond", but "in front"... Sorry just wanted to burst... The Finnish title is "Etulinjan edessä". Is this the film by Olli SAARELA, that was also known as "Ambush" or "Rukajarven Tie"? I found the different sounds of the variety of weapons particularly well done and there appeared to be great attention to detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landsturm Posted 5 April , 2007 Share Posted 5 April , 2007 Is this the film by Olli SAARELA, that was also known as "Ambush" or "Rukajarven Tie"? Nope... it WAS Olli Saarela who directed Rukajärven tie, but "Etulinjan edessä" was directed by Åke Lindman (who is currently working on another project, in which I got to play a part also )... Lindman himself played a memorable role of Lehto in 1955 major movie "Tuntematon Sotilas" (the Unknown Soldier). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
