Default 'The Riddle of Richard Pearse'

A video of docu-drama film 'The Riddle of Richard Pearse' has been
located, digitised and uploaded to Google Video. This is the film
during which the horse which was towing the replica plane across a
field suddenly bolted and the plane took off - but despite all the
cameras around no-one managed to get a recording of it in the air!!
Also there are some early archival films of eyewitnesses to the
'flight(s)' of early 1903.

For a link to work as a whole clickable item, you need to prevent line wraps
from seperating the link. You can do this by putting the link down, then
enclose it in the brackets "" at the beginning, and "" at the end. I am
not sure if the link is exactly right, because of the "-" in there, so I
will not use it this time, and demonstrate like so:

The links work OK. The 'lowres' and 'hires' were just textual
annotations.

Yep, they work now, but didn't the first time I tried them. They must have
been swamped with too many hits.
