Apparently, this short is considered in some places to be the last British WWII propaganda film, but I can't for the life of me figure out what makes it so. It's just a 30-minute look at intertwining lives of a handful of people over 24 or so hours in Edinburgh (pronounced in this short as "edinboro" rather than "edinbra", but my ears could be playing tricks on me).

This one's for dsl, Sandie and our other fellow Scots. :)

by the time it reaches Edinburgh, however, "Flying Scotsman" is no more, some numbers are now present on the front, and the plaque says "Merlin", with the lights moving about on the front:

and this one looks different than either of them:
