Caught On Camera

    Even though the village Allouette helicopter is fitted with floats, this is the only time we see the helicopter having landed on the still water of the estuary at Portmeirion, during the filming of the Prisoner there in September 1966.
   The film, from which this frame has been taken, of the Allouette landing upon the water was filmed by someone staying at Portmeirion at the time. And if it were not for amateur film makers, we would not be privy to much of what took place during the filming of the Prisoner at that time.
   It is interesting to note, that at no time during the series of the Prisoner, does the helicopter land on water at the village.    Be seeing you
