BBC Feature from 1949
Another lovely BBC archive film, showing the boat-mounted Marconi camera and equipment ready for the televising of the 1949 boat race.

Yes, very nice. As long as the water doesn't get choppy!

Re: BBC Feature from 1949
Note the onboard 'H' aerial. Did the BBC use 64 Mc/s for OBs in those days?
