Lifted straight from CG where it was released earlier today. It's great to see more of these old CFF gems surfacing!
I know very little about this other than that the plot appears to be a little far-fetched. I'll admit to being unashamedly influenced by screenshots.....

What can I say? She appears to be a big girl!
http://www.tvcream.co.uk/?cat=3560HIJACK (1975) Three children, Jack, Jenny and Lucy, are playing on a beach when a youth, Colin, appears over the sandhills. He persuades them to give him a lift across the river in their dinghy. When they stop at their father’s yacht he invites himself on board, produces a flick-knife and a hand grenade, and forces the children to set sail for France. Police and naval authorities cannot help as Colin threatens to blow up the yacht and its occupants with the grenade. It is up to the children to get themselves out of their predicament. Let’s look at that again: Yacht, France, Naval authorities, explosion, flick knife… we’re forced to conceed that this particular offering had, by CFF standards at least, a budget. There’s a helicopter in there too. Lord Rank takes glance at expenses sheet, makes instant phone call ordering a year’s worth of films wherein some kids fart about in an old barn for seventy minutes with a pony (out of shot).

Like this post to see ed2k links [1.09 Gb]Considering this is 36-years-old & a VHS rip the quality is fairly good, certainly watchable. It's a bit flaky at the start with some tracking glitches but it settles down.
This is not my rip although I've altered the filename, but only to improve searchability. My thanks to green78 at CG for the rip & release.
Enjoy!
