Aerofilms on Britains Hidden Heritage BBC2

Thanks… I just watched it on (at about 41 minutes in)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01mfx07/sign/Britains_Hidden_Heritage_Series_2_Mount_Stewart/

Impressive how much care they’re taking of the negatives

The programme I saw was called Britain’s Hidden Heritage and it was on BBC2 at 00:20hrs Tues night/Wed morn.

… Not a bad little programme actually.
Cheers,
Chris.

Lost Planet Airmen?

The ‘Unlocated’ gallery in Britain from Above’ contains a nice bunch of planes

Very interesting photos! lots of crazy flying going on. The cloud photos in 1926 are a strange inclusion. The clouds then would not be different from the ones we get today.

What was the program/channel? BTW if you register you get a zoom function

Indeed, the programme that I watched showed a massive temperature controlled warehouse with thousands of boxes containing slides that were taken from an aeroplane on a glass plate camera, they said that they were slowly digitising them.
Cheers,
Chris.

Heston aerodrome gets excellent coverage as does Cobham’s ‘National Aviation Day’ Circus

You need to register (free) to get all facilities, then search ‘aerodrome’, ‘air park’ etc

They haven’t put anything new on there since November
