Television Goes Flying - Aviation Interest!!

Postby IanM » Fri Jun 12, 2009 9:50 am

From the BBC Archives...

"The first of two experimental broadcasts from a Vickers Varsity in flight over Norfolk. Cameras from the cockpit and the bomb aimer's compartment, supplemented by cameras on the ground, capture the plane taking off and landing, as well as other aircraft, such as a Lincoln, Canberra and Meteor NF12, flying alongside."

At first I thought something had upset you, and you'd lobbed the TV out of the window. Very nice footage - thanks for digging it out.
