A short cine film clip showing R G Mitchell's Jerry the Giraffe kiddie ride sometime between 1965 and 1975.  Location unknown, but possibly Neath.

"One of RG Mitchell's original range of wooden animal rides, the first Jerry was released in 1962.  As with all of Mitchell's rides at that time, he was rather plain in design, manufactured in the typical "Muffin the Mule string puppet" style with flat pieces of wood nailed together.

Wooden Jerry would only last for around five years before being replaced by his far more common fibreglass cousin."

Many thanks to Richard Cross, the original uploader, for allowing me to use this clip.  The full film can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7YQ6sqvC3s
