Thames TV Documentary on MH434.

Help..! On 16/09/1980, ITV broadcast a documentary by Thames Television, about MH434 and her history up to 1980. I have lost my copy and can only find a clip of the last few minutes on YT. Can any kind soul point me in the direction of where I can find a copy please..? Many Thanks, S. 🙂

Good use of the valley at Biggin, the old heart stopper for the audience

The video was a bit of a mixed bag, as there was some awful music dubbed-over interesting footage that would have been far better voiced-oover with some data, but the main interest is all the words from those no longer with us…

Wow…. what a marvelous display of aviation skills by Mr Hanna…. its a shame this program is not put out on dvd. You would think in a country where this fighter plane is held in such high regard. This program would sell on the dvd aviation market ! Why keep it in storage in some dusty warehouse ?

Do you mean this footage from the programme put up by Thames themselves?

I asked on here about this programme a long time ago, and I seem to recall that Steve Connor (Flying Machines TV) who did the 1995 video ‘A Spitfire’s Story’, that he tried to get the rights to this programme, but I think he said that despite his efforts, it was not going to happen.

Shame, as I’m sure my dad had it on tape as well, but like your copy, it’s got lost somewhere along the way, and I’d like to see it also.

Cheers

Paul

This isn’t going to help you, sorry! But I remember watching this when first shown (and it being discussed on Capital Radio next day) Good luck getting hold of a copy.
