Re: Pre-war television aerial spotting
Yes, and despite talk of people buying the aerial but not the set "to impress the neighbours", with the aerial alone being so expensive I doubt there was much truth in that.
A lot of viewers must have been tempted to 'make do' without a proper aerial if at all possible. Then of course there were 'mains aerials' such as found in the Baird.
It's little wonder that rooftop television aerials have been so difficult/impossible to spot in old newsreels.
