More importantly, I was impressed by the professionalism with which the protest was conducted and sustained and, last, but not least, recorded on this DVD. Steve Powell, Leighton Buzzard, December 31st I received 'Over Our Dead Bodies' as a Christmas present, and was involved with the thankfully short resurrection of the WARA campaign in 1979. The DVD is a terrific record of social history and provides all sorts of insights for people who view it in years to come. Many thanks to those who had the foresight to record things at the time, and to John Flewin for putting this excellent production together. Margaret & David Carter, Stewkley, October 12th We watched the DVD of the WARA fight against London's Third Airport and found the presentation very professional and well balanced. Congratulations. For us personally it rekindled many memories of that time and although there was a great deal of anxiety, in hind sight the emotion that stays with you is the community spirit that we all felt so strongly and the thankfulness for being able to continue to live together here in this area. Linslade Resident, October 10th Thank you for sending the DVD so promptly. We have enjoyed watching it and it evoked lots of memories. We had both just moved into the area while the campaign was going on and were very aware of it but weren't actually involved. However, the DVD has been a real insight into what went on. Thank you very much and good luck with your efforts. Present day aircraft noise campaigner Rachel Webb, for the Stewkley Grapevine, published October 1st: "A dramatic and emotive record of people's fear, anger, humour, spirit and ingenuity when faced with the unfaceable ... although the main economic and social arguments are covered, it is more about how people channelled their emotions ... Colin Buchanan and Cleo Laine get mentions, but the star attractions are really the Graces, Beasleys, Keens, Hounslows, Willises, Walducks, Tatthams and many other local families, some of whom have lived here for over 500 years. For those who participated in the airport resistance, OVER OUR DEAD BODIES will be a source of nostalgia and pride; for historians and social scientists it will provide invaluable primary data; for politicians and planners, it will be a lesson in humanity; for economists, a lesson in humility."
