Hi.

As many already know, today is the 50th anniversary of regular colour television broadcasts in the UK which started on BBC2 on 2nd December 1967.
I was hoping to acquire a first generation colour set to celebrate this important milestone. My oldest colour TV is a 1975 ITT CVC9 hybrid set.

It would be good to see some of the early colour sets displaying pictures to mark this anniversary. There hasn't been much coverage in the media that I can speak of which seems a shame.

Regards
Symon.
