Our photo album from the relaunch of the Swallow from the 1974 “Swallows and Amazons” film at Coniston on Sunday 10th April 2011, including shots of Bank Ground Farm (“Holly Howe”) and Swallow’s restored boathouse, with additional photos by Dan Ford. (Further pictures can be found at Sailing in the Lakes.)
Although the film "Swallows and Amazons" wasn't released until the summer of 1974, it was actually filmed a year earlier in the summer of 1973. So footage of "Swallow" was actually filmed in 1973, not 1974. David Rayner, Stoke-on-Trent.
