His log book mentions filming 'Avengers' in Jun, Aug and Sept '68 in G-AVZC and ive traced the episodes featuring G-AVZC as Split!, Super secret cypher snatch, and killer all filmed in '68. G-AVUM was also in 'Avengers' this year in an episode named 'Noon doomsday'

Heres another picture of G-AVZC with Frazer Hines on the right (used to be in Emmerdale farm years ago) and my sister in the middle.
Dad did a few filming bits and pieces over the years and as a kid i remember a big green hand from a seamonster that was given to him after filming Dr Who (Dad flew them 'rising' from the sea). He used to try and scare us by putting it round doors as he walked in, etc.
In December '68 He started work for Globe construction, flying G-AWKC quite a lot and G-AVZC, G-AVUM, G-AXAY.
G-AWKC
In Jan '70 he did the conversion to Bell 206 in G-AWRV a 206A and flew this one a lot until Dec '71 when he went to Indonesia and flew Allouettes again.
This picture from PJK collection. Taken in Edinburgh 6th June 1971 and this ties in with Dads logbook as being in his charge at that time.
A spot of map reading in the Bell 206.
