| Wales from the Air |
| |
With dramatic mountain ranges, great rivers and natural resources,
Wales has a landscape steeped in history and lore, evidenced by its many megaliths, forts and castles, which date back over 5,000 years.
Its people are said to retain characteristics from both
ancient Britain and the Mediterranean |
The BBC produced a documentary series in the 1960s called "Bird's Eye View", a series of helicopter travelogues providing breathtaking views of the British Isles. This documentary approach was revolutionary for its day.
This included "Wales from the Air". The series was broadcast between 1969 and 1971. Wales from the Air was first broadcast in 1971 on BBC2.
Narrator
The Narrator was Rene Cutforth, a BBC correspondent who had reported from some 74 countries on a diverse range of events, including the Korean War and the Dalai Lama's escape to India.
During the Second World War, Rene served in the Army and was seconded to the Ministry of Information. He was wounded and captured in North Africa, and taken as a prisoner of war to Italy and Germany.
Cutforth spent many years living in Wales, or at least having a home there to which he returned from his various assignments across the globe, finding himself growing increasingly fond of the Welsh countryside and the Welsh way of life.

ENG: “It was such an amazing stay in this wonderful palace/cottage.
There are no details missing, it is absolutely cosy, spacious and elegantly decorated. We were surprisingly welcome with wine, bread and sweets, what a great treat!
The area is very nice for retreating and enjoying nature and Welsh hospitality. We could not have had a better stay. Thank you.”
ESP: “La estancia fue maravillosa, es un lugar estupendo para pasar unas vacaciones y relajarnos.
La casa es si es un palacio al que no le falta un detalle. Teniamos preparados vino, pan y dulces, no podian habernos recibido mejor.
El lugar es estupendo tambien, bastante diferente a otros sitios de vacaciones, con mucha paz, naturaleza y tranquilidad.
Nos gustaria volver alli pronto.”

“Aucune mauvaise surprise à l'arrivée, et plusieurs bonnes, comme la qualité de l'accueil (panier garni abondant et sympa avec oeufs, lait, beurre, bacon, pommes, biscuits gallois, thé, et même une bouteille de bon vin), bouquets de fleurs dans la cuisine et le salon, qualité de la literie, gentillesse de la propriétaire qui s'est enquise de la qualité de notre séjour par sms le 2ème jour.
Nous étions 2 adultes et 4 enfants de 12 ans, nous avions donc apporté un matelas de camping après accord avec la propriétaire, et nous avons très bien tenu dans la maison.......
Bref, un excellent séjour dans d'excellentes conditions matérielles.”
