.......... UK use of airborne broadcast TV from a Police helicopter. Probably 1979 but will need to check the logbook. From memory the guy in the seat of the AMH 'mount' was Inspector Radcliffe? who was in charge of the ASU at that time. The mount has a Sony video camera fitted and a broadcast transmitter and aerial gave enough of a range to deliver a view of London to the 'high-ups' at Scotland Yard who evaluated this trial and gave the go ahead for more development work.
At the time we had the contract to patrol London from Lippits Hill - in a Bell 47G5A!!!!
Picture taken at Battersea Heliport where our 206 was set up for the trial.
