Veteran interviews

From time to time I interview veterans, mostly air force and mostly from 1939-45 but there are a fair number of Korea, Vietnam and others among them.
I do these as part of my job recording oral history for the Temora Aviation Museum.
I have put together a short video which for the moment is on one of my sites and I'd be interested in some feedback of how it plays as there seem to be some issues. Initially I had posted a Quicktime version but that was too large, and so I decided to try two different sizes of .wmv format.

Please have a look and tell me whether it works for you.

And if you know anyone I could interview (in Australia) please also let me know! Here's the link.
These files are large-ish so please be patient for them to load enough to start.
Thanks!

Whats the title of the short Video Keith? Site looks good - could almost be an OLD CMP website.

Does it need one? It was made to encourage these guys to tell their stories and to explain the process.

I've been working behind the scenes - shhhh! on a new version of the site...

Veterans, certainly as far as my grandfather is concerned will need to be 'walked thru the site' Such things as "place the little arrow here & press the left button once"

"the little black thing your holding that looks like a hand grenade" is probably taking it a bit too far. I suppose you have to rely on the fact their computer literate ganddaughter is helping them.

Cant wait to see the new & improved version of OLD CMP
