Saltcoats In Flood is a video from January 1991 it reports on the devastating effects of the floods which hit on the 5th of January with footage from in and around the town Saltcoats in Flood is the result of Rev Ray Brinkleys willingness to loan a flatbottomed boat to the local Fire Brigade on the day the flood occurred Pastor Brinkley realised that a video of the event might well be useful and with the help of Dan Ware he used the colleges updated Super VHS equipment purchased from Harris of Saltcoats to make the ensuing film Shots from the same were not only on ITN national news that same evening but were ultimately part of the ongoing international news films seen in Australia and New Zealand In a somewhat unwelcome manner Saltcoats certainly hit the headlines
