TV Archives
I might be able to help you here, back in the early to middle 50's the BBC had no archival policy. Most programmes were live, so anything recorded by either film or telecine, ( video had still to be invented ) would have ben retained by pure chance, or technical value, NOT subject matter. There is an Archive Dept at the BBC but where I have no idea, it used to a Windmill Road Brentford, so a call to either Manchester or Broadcasting House London might just bring results.
I filmed Capt Jones at Shoreham in the middle 60's for an episode of the History of Aviation. The programme as a whole was pretty dire, though the ATC at Shoreham might have different ideas ( a lady called Richardson ) but I got to fly in a 2 seat Bleriot with a French 727 pilot who flew for Pan Am in the German internal routes Hope this helps Alan S
