He took part in the invasion of Italy, came home to the Isle of Man in 1944 and then, his division re-equipped, landed at Normandy on the afternoon of D-Day, continuing right through France into Germany, where he was when the war ended. In the weeks and months immediately after the war Mr Duff served on in Germany and took part, with the 7th Armoured Division, in the victory parade in Berlin. He was demobbed in July 1946 and briefly returned to his career as a railway worker before a distinguished 30-year career with the Isle of Man Constabulary

Old Tourist Board material
Isle of Bays (1954)
The first colour film produced for the Tourist Board. It covers two days in the holiday of a family - with the exploits of a hapless fisherman in an 'old banger' thrown in as comedy relief.
There are plenty of interesting countryside viewsm the director making the most of the opportunities provided by 'colour'.
The story is "boy meets girl", the boy being Tourist Board employee Edgar Cottier, with local girl Geraldine Reid (LEFT).
Isle of Beauty
Super little film which is not to be missed, representing a time when the Tourist Board was able to commission the very highest quality productions. Featuring a voice over by Wilfred Pickles and a superb music track by the Pathe Orchestra (Including Haydn Wood melodies). Isle of Beauty follows the exploits of the "Barker Family*" as they set out to explore the wonders of the Island. They start at Peel and proceed via Laxey, Ramsey, Snaefell, Castletown and Port Erin. As well as the "old Manx Fisherman who is Peel's unofficial weather forecaster", they meed "old Mr Bridson" who climbs tro the top of the Island's highest peak every birthday. As the Barker's leave, the boy (in demob suit) and girl hold hands as they sail into the sunset "ready no doubt to return again to the Isle of Man - the Isle of Beauty".
*Actually made up of locals some employed in the Tourism Ofices of the day.
Isle of Man Scooter Rally (Colour, 1958, 15 mins)
An extract from the Shell film “Two-Wheel Trio”, this covers the almost forgotten event that was the Isle of Man Scooter Rally.
The sight of the chubby little scooters jumping about on the obstacle course is amusing and one cannot but wonder at the bravery of the riders taking prt in the 24-hour “endurance test”.
The rally seems to take place under a rather ominous dark sky, the rain pouring down on the scooters all too often. However, eventually the sun shines on the Concourse D’Elegance and the little scooters wend their way home leaving a trail of blue smoke.
When the film was shown at the 1986 TT Prize Presentation at the Villa Marina, it brought tears (of laughter and disbelief) to the eyes of many of the bikers present, who evidently thoroughly enjoyed this glimpse of the past. A Castrol Film
Holiday Island (Colour, 1964, 20 mins)
“The Treasure and Pleasure of the Isle of Man - The Island “gem” in the Irish Sea”
One of the first Tourist Board films to give a really representative view of the wide range of events held throughout the year.
It is one of the few films in the official archive to feature shots of ‘big name’ personalities, including Jimmy Saville, David Jacobs and Ivy Benson’s All-Girl Band.
The film begins with coverage of the erstwhile annual Easter Sports Festival, followed by views of the then new “Manx Maid” car ferry - with its revolutionary spiral car ramp.
There is some excellent footage of the Isle of Man Rally, forerunner of today’s Manx International Rally. As well as views of Cortinas and Mini Coopers racing around narrow country lanes, there are shots of ‘driving tests’ held on Douglas Promenade.
The Scooter Rally is featured next, complete with Concourse D’Elegance, obstacle race, and potentially lethal “Egg on Head” competition.
After the TT Races, there are shots of some night time entertainment with nostalgic views of adverts for top showtime entertainers who once graced the theatres of holiday resorts throughout Britain.
There’s the Highland Games (remember them?) and two football matches - one between Stoke City and Manchester United, and another between Bernard Breslaw’s Showbiz XI, against a local Police team. (Dicky Valentine kicks off, aided by Freddie of “Freddie and the Dreamers”.)
Watch for the bathing beauty competition, agricultural show, rare scenic views of the Ayres Plane in the north of the Island, the Viking Festival, Tynwald and Douglas nightlife.
How many remember the “Modern Music Festuval”, hosted by a young-looking Jimmy Saville, and an even younger-looking David Jacobs?
A Manx Press Pictures film by well-known local photographer Bill Peters (LEFT).
Finally we are given an amusing ‘recap’ as the hapless photographer (Bill Peters) is featured speeding up the film to remind us of what we have just seen!
Magic Memories (Colour, 1969, 20 mins)
A Manx Press Pictures film, made by well-known Island photographer Bill Peters. The film opens with a shot of a Cambrian Airways Viscount arriving at Ronaldsway.
We are then treated to the steam railway (then in “Victorian” guise), Rushen Abbeyt and Pony Trekking.
At Silverdale Glen, we get a privileged view of the island’s “Little People” as they toil away in the “Gnomes Grotto”.
There are some splendid views of the Calf of Man, Snaefell Summit and night life including the Casino.
Of particular interest iis the reference to the forthcoming new ‘leisure centre’, being built at the north end of Douglas Promenade and with the help of a cut-away model, we are given a tour of what was to become the ill-fated “Summerland”.
The vision, high hopes and optimism which surrounded the planning and building of this world-beating complex are well captured in the remarkable footage.
Summerland was tragically destroyed by fire on August 2nd 1973. 50 people were killed and 80 seriously injured.
The Proud Islander (B&W, 1963, 4 Mins)
“The Proud Islander” in question is a horse tram driver Caley who tells us about his Island. The film begins aboard a Cambrian Airways Vickers Viscount and end up in the Island’s Casino (then at the Castle Mona Hotel). There;’s an amusing sequence involving the tram driver and a postman (Matty Ward) at the Fairy Bridge. Watch for a very well observed beauty competition at the Villa Marina. Although very short (its ends just as you feel its got going), “The Proud Islander” is a smashing little film. A Profile Film; Camera - Michael Gore; Produced and Directed by Martin Benson; Editor - David Capey.
Isle of Man Tourist Board TV Commercial - 1982

in this Border TV epic...
Island Transport 1967
Not a Tourist Board film but included here.
In 1967 the Isle of Man Photographic Society made a movie about Isle of Man transport.

Miscellaneous
Manx Wedding Laxey (1952)
Silent home movie from the archives showing a "Manx Wedding" recorded in 1952 - but looking much older. The action is set on the Laxey football field. Who do you recognise?
Isle of Man Tourist Board TV Commercial - 1990
The Tourist Board 1990 marketing slogan "Its an Island caught in time", was accompanied by a clever adaptation of the 1946 "Its no tail" movie - colorised and with a replacement sountrack by 'speaking clock' actor Brian (The time sponsored by Accurist) Cobby. Our unique version shows the original movie (left) next to the 1990 TV commercial. As well as the colourisation, one shot is flipped horizontally, whilst others have had the background switched. Can you spot the differences?
Its No Tail... (1946)
As the title suggests, we follow the adventures of a banknote as it passes from person to person during an Isle of Man holiday in 1946. This was the first publicity film produced for the Tourist Board after World War II and is the longest and most elaborate in the Department's archive. The film starts somewhere in the south of England with a brand new pound note. From here we follow it to the Isle of Man where it passes to a hotel receptionist, farmer, shopkeeper, publican, bus conductor and so on... The slightly mysterious narrator spends his holiday following the bank note around, lurking suspiciously and hovering ominously. Today it seems rather odd - but in 1946 was probably seen as just good fun!
This rather battered 16mm print sat for years in the attic of the late Tony Beard, before being returned to the Department of Tourism in 1985 to be transferred to hi-band U-Matic (video) in 1986. Isle of Man tourism aficionados will recognise segments of this film which were used in the Travis Dale "Its an Island caught in time" IoM TV commercial from 1988 - albeit colourised and flipped back to front in places. This and other films from the Tourist Board archive - which once comprised over 40 titles - are now available on DVD from DUKE video, with informative introductions from veteran commentator and Manxman, Terry Cringle.
