Heath, Eric Walmsley, 1923- :French test series called off - atmosphere not right in N.Z. [late 1970s?]
- Date
- 1976 - 1981
- Reference
- C-132-820
- Description
Shows scene at the Port of Marseille[s] (labelled), with gendarme resembling the late president de Gaulle berating a naval commander, who thought it was the nuclear tests which were cancelled, when in fact it was the rugby tests. The gendarme shouts: "Rugby tests you fool! Not bomb tests!"
De Gaulle died in 1970.
Dated by size of paper (this larger size used in the 1970s rather than the 1980s).
A French rugby tour of New Zealand was, it appears, cancelled because of New Zealand feeling about French nuclear testing.
