Just found a great bit of film on Youtube. obviously proffesionally produced and probably made for Jersey Tourism. by the colour schemes and the fact that it shows a BUA Viscunt and a BUIA herald it was definitely shot in 1969 as this was the only year they operated concurrently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxOEvZU6mzs

Definitely NOT 1969! I was flying G-AOYR (shown in BEA colours) that year in BKS colours, I think it had been delivered in 1968. So a year or 2 earlier I believe.

At 1:04 there is a Herald in a two tone blue/white livery that I don't recognise. Any ideas?
I initially thought of TAT but I only remember them with F-27's.

G-AOYR went to BKS in December 1969.

The two-tone blue Herald belonged to Autair.

G-AWCV was with Midland from April 68 to November 69. It was noted in the later BMA scheme (seen early in this clip) in September 1969. According to vickersviscount.net

And BUIA only came int existance in November 1968 from the ashes of BU(ci)A
Also Autair only operated Heralds into Jersey in 1968 and 1969

I'd go with Autair for the Herald too.

Same logo on a 748 here:

looks like it's at the old Speke terminal at LPL - now the Crowne PLaza Hotel.
