My father shot tens of thousands of feet of cine film, starting in the late forties.
Most of this is deposited with the Yorkshire Film Archive at York.
Although the subject matter of most of the films is non-aviation, a great deal of footage exists relating to aviation included airshows from the '50s, '60s and '70s, Heathrow and Manchester from the '50s onwards, together with various general aviation subjects - crop spraying in Lincolnshire, Shuttleworth Collection, Kings Cup Air Race and pleasure flying for example.
I was hoping to catalogue the films, but to date simply have not found the time - my father having passed away some ten years ago.
It's a shame these films cannot be aired, as they would no doubt be of interest to aviation enthusiasts. At least they are safe - some footage was the subject of a 'The Way We Were' episode on TV a few years ago.
Kind regards
