BSEPS presents the making of The Iron Maiden Film
The theme of the Bedford Steam Engine Preservation Society's (BSEPS) annual Steam & Country Fayre for 2011 was a celebration of the 1963 film The Iron Maiden, which was made in the local area. The display was a tribute to the Society's founder and President the late John Crawley, who was technical advisor to the film and 'starred' as a female double in many scenes. The display featured five of the 'star' engines form the film and many of the background 'extra' engines.
