Apologies for adding to such an old thread, but I'm very keen to know if anyone had any success in locating a copy of the BBC documentary "The Pilots"?
I have several reasons for wishing to obtain a copy of the programme, my father worked for BOAC at the time, I had a good friend who was a BOAC 707 Captain in 1963, I have a strong connection to BSAA (and Ernest Rodley features in the documentary) etc. etc., but most significantly of all, I have recently been contacted by a friend who just found out that his late father was on the crew featured in the documentary.
My friend's father was Ian Carter, a BOAC Flight Engineer who was sadly lost in BA911 over Mount Fuji on that awful morning in 1966 (coincidentally three years to the day after the documentary was broadcast). It would be wonderful to locate the film for my friend, even if his father's appearance on screen may be very brief. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
Ian
