Resurrecting a decade old thread but “Red One to London” is now out on You Tube. Fascinating to watch as my experience with LHR only started in 2002. I also “cough” enjoyed “cough” the casual sexism of the 70’s as the reporter basically asked (implied) if the female Heathrow approach controller (Beverley) was as good as the male controllers. His gems of questions included “No sex discrimination?”. “And she’s been through the same training”
The other thing I found of interest was the view available on the radar screens; I’ve been into area control and the VCR and seen 21st Century kit with mode S readouts. A world away from the blip on the orange screens of the 70’s.
